1954 Map of Lone Tree Well

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Sand Ridge provides a distinct topographic break across the Tulare Lake Basin in this mid-century look at the agricultural plumbing of the San Joaquin Valley. At a time when the region was heavily engineered for water management, the landscape is defined by an extensive system of water control features, including the Hacienda Spillway and the Kern River Channel. The presence of several Levee systems and an Abandoned Canal indicates a shifting strategy in irrigation and flood control during the 1950s. Near the border of Kings Co Kern Co, the map documents localized landmarks like Lone Tree Well and the Burhans Ranch. These small nodes of human activity were essential outposts for ranching and water maintenance in a territory largely defined by straight-line section boundaries and artificial waterways like the Homeland Canal.
