1924 Map of Stokes Mountain

About this map

Stokes Mountain and its surrounding canyons dominate this 1920s topography, revealing a transitional landscape in Tulare County. The map details the intricate drainage patterns of Sand Creek and Cottonwood Creek as they descend toward the Woodlake Valley. Notable for local researchers is the Elda School, which served as a focal point for the rural community during this period of development. This survey reflects the region's agricultural and transit infrastructure at a time when the A. T. & S. F. railroad facilitated movement through the valley floor. The specialized scale of this sheet provides high-resolution contouring of the foothills, contrasting with the broader surveys conducted in earlier years.
