About this map

Quincy School stands as a central landmark in this 1926 survey of the foothills where the San Joaquin Valley begins its rise toward the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the White River and deep seasonal drainages like Tyler Gulch and Rag Gulch. This period of California's development is captured through infrastructure such as the Southern California Edison Company (Power Line) and the Delano-Woody Road, which provided vital connectivity between remote rural outposts.

The map clearly delineates the Tulare Co Kern Co Boundary Line, marking the political division of these two agricultural counties during the mid-1920s. For those researching local genealogy or early 20th-century land use, the placement of the schoolhouse relative to the river and the survey sections offers a precise look at the community's footprint before the expansion of modern irrigation and infrastructure.
