1951 Map of Rocky Hill

About this map

Agricultural lands and citrus groves meet the rising foothills of the Sierra Nevada in this Tulare County survey. The Kaweah River and Consolidated Peoples Ditch dominate the northern irrigation landscape, feeding a network of canals and levees that support settlements like Lindcove and Merryman. The terrain is defined by the prominent Badger Hill and Rocky Hill, which overlook the Yokohl Valley. Local history is visible in the distribution of family holdings such as Hamilton Ranch and Powell Ranch, alongside the Hamilton Cemetery. Of particular cultural significance is the recorded Dumtah (Indian Camp Ground Site) near Dry Creek. Transportation infrastructure at mid-century included the Visalia Electric and Southern Pacific railroads, alongside the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line, illustrating the region's importance as a rail-dependent transit hub for central valley produce.
