1929 Map of Porterville

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Tulare County is defined by an intricate network of irrigation canals and two major rail lines during this late 1920s survey. Porterville serves as the central hub, where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads converge near the foothills of Lewis Hill. The surrounding valley floor is heavily engineered for citrus and deciduous fruit production, evidenced by the dense grid of water works including the Poplar Ditch, Porter Slough, and Hubbs Miner Ditch.
