1947 Map of Round Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Round Mountain rises as a distinct landmark over the agricultural plains of Fresno County, where a complex network of irrigation ditches and canals supported a thriving ranching economy in the late 1940s. Large family-named holdings like Fancher Ranch, Sunland Ranch, and McLaglen Ranch are spread across the terrain, interspersed with local institutions including the Gray Colony Sch and Round Mountain Sch. This landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the Friant-Kern Canal and Enterprise Canal, which weave through the landscape alongside natural waterways like Redbank Creek. The southern portion of the map centers on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor, which anchored early 20th-century settlements such as Fairview and Zediker. The map also documents important local markers of heritage, from the Redbank Cem to the site of an old Tollhouse on the road toward the Sierra foothills.
