1954 Map of Mc Farland

About this map

McFarland and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by the essential infrastructure of California's Central Valley, including the prominent Friant-Kern Canal and Lake Wollomes. The 1969 photorevisions highlight the expansion of the urban footprint in McFarland, particularly around the High School and local street grid. Agricultural industry is evident through features like the Winery near Vinland and a Borrow Pit, while the Southern Pacific railroad provides the primary north-south corridor for the region. To the east, the terrain rises into the foothills where the small settlement of Jasmin is located, complete with the Jasmin Sch. The map also captures several smaller rail sidings and agricultural stops such as Zentner and Calico, which were vital to the mid-century rural economy. Local landmarks like the Delano Airport and a rural Cem near the southern boundary provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
