1954 Map of Remnoy

About this map

Agricultural development and complex water management define this landscape on the boundary between Kings and Tulare counties in the mid-1950s. The Southern Pacific rail line serves as the primary corridor for settlements like Hamblin and Remnoy, while a dense network of irrigation features including the Peoples Ditch and Flint Avenue Canal redirect water across the valley floor. The map documents a period of shifting educational infrastructure, noting several decommissioned sites such as Wayne School and Eureka School, while Kit Carson School remains active. Unusual landmarks like a Racetrack near Guernsey Slough and the KNGS Radio Towers provide specific points of interest for local historians. Large-scale water control is evident through the Percolation Basin and the winding course of Cross Creek, illustrating the extensive engineering required to support the region's farming economy.
