1948 Map of Kentucky Well

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Kentucky Well serves as a primary landmark in this Central Valley landscape, mapped originally in 1919 and revised shortly after World War II. The terrain is defined by the early development of water management infrastructure, most notably the Chowchilla Canal and the Aliso Canal, which cut straight paths across the alluvial plains. These engineering works facilitated the agricultural transformation of the region, supported by numerous Windmills scattered across the township sections. The Fresno River and Berenda Slough meander through the northern portion of the quadrangle, providing natural drainage that contrasts with the rigid geometry of the canal system. Local transportation is anchored by the Madera and Firebaugh Road, which runs diagonally toward the southwest, connecting the scattered rural properties and water sources that sustained the local ranching and farming economy during this era.
