1954 Map of Rio Bravo

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Rio Bravo Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this 1954 survey, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in the San Joaquin Valley. Clusters of oil wells and tanks surround the intersection of Imperial Street and Seventh Standard Road, while a dense network of pipelines traverses the flat terrain. This mid-century view captures a unique social geography, where labor-focused settlements like the Mexican Colony, Cherokee Strip, and Farm Labor Center sit adjacent to the bustling agricultural and rail hub of Shafter.
