1956 Map of Globe

About this map

Globe and Graham sit within the drainage of the Tule River during the mid-1950s, a landscape defined by water management and early transportation routes. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade north of the river suggests a shift in the local economy, while the extensive irrigation network including Pleasant Valley Ditch and Mt Whitney Ditch highlights the agricultural foundations of Pleasant Valley. To the south, the terrain rises toward Cow Mtn and Oak Flat Peak 2734, marking the boundary of the Indian Reservation.
