1956 Map of Oxalis

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The border between Merced and Fresno counties bisects this 1950s landscape, defined by a complex network of irrigation and transportation infrastructure. Centered on the community of Dos Palos, the area is heavily marked by water management systems including the massive Delta-Mendota Canal and numerous smaller channels like the Poso Canal, Santa Fe Canal, and Outside Canal. These waterways supported established agricultural operations such as Wolfson Ranch, Holland Farm, and Hog Ranch. Education is anchored by the Joint Union H S and Bryant School, while the southern reaches show the industrial footprint of the Silaxo Oil Pumping Sta. The movement of goods and people relied on the Southern Pacific railroad line, which passes through the small stop of Oxalis, alongside an extensive grid of local avenues that weave through the Central Valley basin.
