1961 Map of Kismet

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define the landscape north of Madera as documented in this 1961 survey, later updated in the 1980s. The convergence of two major transit lines, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Southern Pacific, anchors the local transport network near Kismet and Notarb. The map illustrates a complex irrigation and drainage system necessary for Central Valley farming, featuring the prominent Madera Canal and natural waterways like Berenda Creek and Dry Creek. Recreational land use is concentrated at the Madera Country Club and the Madera Lake County Park and Rec Area. Cultural landmarks such as a local Racetrack and the Diversion Dam on Schmidt Creek provide insight into the rural economy and community life of the mid-20th century.
