1947 Map of Sanger
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Sanger and Del Rey anchor this mid-century portrait of Fresno County’s agricultural heartland, where a complex network of irrigation ditches and canals sustains the landscape. The Kings River flows along the eastern edge, feeding an intricate system of waterworks including the Switch Canal, Hansen Ditch, and Gould Ditch. This infrastructure, vital to the region's orchard and vineyard economy, is mirrored by the dense grid of rural avenues like Ventura Avenue and Jensen Avenue. Two major rail lines, the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, provide the necessary transit for local produce. The map preserves the locations of several rural social centers, including Salem Ch, Granville Sch, and Prairie Sch, which served the scattered farming families of the Sanger district.
