1956 Map of Levis

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The settlement of Levis and the surrounding Fresno County agricultural landscape are defined by an extensive grid of section-line roads and irrigation infrastructure in the mid-1950s. Located near an Oil Pumping Station, the area features a geometric layout of avenues including Manning Ave, Nebraska Ave, and Derrick Ave. The transition from the flat valley floor to the foothills is marked by Monocline Ridge and the Ciervo Hills in the southwest corner. Local life and labor are evidenced by several scattered Labor Camps and the Midway Ranch, while transport is focused at Panoche Junction. This survey reveals the scale of Central Valley land management, noting a significant subsidence area below the hills and a system of Levees and Pumps designed to control water flow across the arid terrain near Washoe.
