1963 Map of Helm

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Raisin City Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this agricultural region, where the grid-like precision of section lines and irrigation roads meets the winding, natural path of the Fresno Slough. Centered on the settlement of Helm, the map illustrates a complex water management system featuring the James Bypass and Fish Slough, essential for the valley's intensive farming. The infrastructure is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to a Landing Strip and serves as a corridor for local commerce. Significant landmarks like the Storage Bin and Gravel Pit appear alongside the prominent Mc Mullin Grade, highlighting the industrial and transport needs of a mid-century California oil and agriculture hub.
