About this map

The agricultural landscape of Thornwell is defined by a dense network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure in the mid-1950s. This survey illustrates the intricate water management system necessary for rice farming or similar local agriculture, featuring the Niblett Farm Canal, Live Oak Farm Irrigation Canal, and numerous Pump House stations scattered across the grid. The Southern Pacific railroad runs east-to-west through the heart of the settlement, paralleling State Highway No 734 and facilitating the movement of goods from this coastal prairie region.
