1950 Map of Ivanhoe
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Agricultural development defines the San Joaquin Valley landscape near Ivanhoe at mid-century. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the massive Friant Kern Canal, Wutchumna Ditch, and Sontag Ditch, sustains the orchards and fields that dominate the valley floor. Transportation for these products is provided by the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which connect smaller shipping points like Seville, Redbanks, and Hillmaid. Standing in sharp relief against the flat, productive plains are the Colvin Mountain and Venice Hills, which provide topographical contrast to the surrounding terrain. Local community life is evidenced by the Paloma School, St Maries Church, and the Lone Oak Cem, while the County Industrial Camp reflects the labor and civic administration of the period.
