1926 Map of Lethent

About this map

Laguna De Tache dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-1920s survey, where the Kings River divides into the North Fork Kings River and Clarks Fork. The settlement of Lethent serves as a small rail-oriented hub along the Southern Pacific line, which cuts diagonally across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This era reflects a landscape transitioning through early industrial development and organized land management, evidenced by the presence of an Oil Pumping Sta and the surveyed Corporation Line. Education for the sparse rural population is anchored by the Lethent School and San Jose School. The map also clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Fresno Co Kings Co, providing a precise look at local jurisdiction during a period of agricultural and infrastructural expansion in the Central Valley.
