1961 Map of Kismet

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Kismet and Notarb anchor this San Joaquin Valley landscape, where the agricultural grid meets major transportation corridors. The transit-heavy character of the region is evident in the convergence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads, alongside remnants of an Old Railroad Grade. Water management is central to the area's development, highlighted by the massive Madera Canal and a Diversion Dam on Dry Creek, while the Fresno River flows across the southern reaches near the Madera Lake State Park and Rec Area. The map also reveals mid-century institutional and recreational footprints, including the Madera Air Force Station, the Madera Country Club, and a Racetrack located just north of the river, documenting a period of growth for Madera County.
