About this map

The agricultural and industrial landscape of the Tulare-Kern county border is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor. The settlement of Richgrove serves as a central hub for this rural district, where irrigated ranching operations like Bartoldus Ranch, Nielson Ranch, and Quinn Ranch are set against the seasonal drainage of Rag Gulch. The map records a critical period of post-war utility expansion, notably featuring a large Substation at Vestal and various oil infrastructure in the southern reaches.
