1913 Map of Panoche

About this map

Dos Palos and South Dos Palos anchor the agricultural landscape in the northeast, where the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of canals, including the Main Canal and Outside Canal, define the San Joaquin Valley economy. The terrain shifts dramatically toward the west and south, ascending into the Panoche Hills and Tumey Hills. This rugged transition from valley floor to upland is marked by scattered schools like Center School and Mercy School, reflecting the era's rural community structure.
