1947 Map of Levis

About this map

The agricultural grid of Fresno County is meticulously documented in this post-war revision of a 1921 survey, overseen by State of California officials including Governor Earl Warren. The landscape is dominated by a systematic network of east-west corridors, ranging from South Avenue to Clark Avenue, intersected by north-south routes like San Diego Avenue and Derrick Avenue. These transit lines frame a territory defined by early industrial and ranching operations, including the Oil Pumping Sta near the settlement of Levis. Smaller hubs of activity like Panoche Junction and Midway Ranch are noted alongside infrastructure essential for Central Valley land management, such as a solitary Windmill and numerous identified Wells. The terrain rises toward the southwest, offering a transition from the level valley floor to the elevations of Mountain View.
