1937 Map of Huron

About this map

The small central California settlement of Huron serves as the focal point of this 1930s survey, situated at the intersection of Lassen Avenue and the Southern Pacific railroad line. The landscape reflects the grid-based development typical of the San Joaquin Valley, with long arterial roads like Siskiyou Avenue and Bishop Avenue dividing the valley floor into large agricultural or undeveloped sections. To the west, the terrain transitions toward the Guijarral Hills, while Canoas Creek appears in the southwestern corner. Along the southern edge of the sheet, Jayne Avenue marks a long, straight boundary through the arid expanse, highlighting the importance of road and rail infrastructure for these isolated agricultural hubs before mid-century expansion.
