1947 Map of Kerman
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The agricultural town of Kerman sits at the junction of the Southern Pacific railroad and early Central Valley road networks. Revised just after the war in 1946, this survey illustrates a landscape transitioning from traditional ranching to intensive irrigation, evidenced by the extensive network of waterways like the Houghton Canal, Empire Ditch, and Bishop Ditch. These canals supported the orchards and vineyards that defined the regional economy, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle show the emergence of Oil Fields and numerous water wells critical for local industry.
