1956 Map of Tres Picos Farms

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Agricultural development and irrigation infrastructure define the landscape of Fresno County during the mid-1950s, as shown on this survey. The terrain transitions from the Big Blue Hills in the southwest toward a grid of industrialized farmland in the valley. Vital water management features like the Canal, a large Reservoir, and a protective Levee support the region's productivity. The map documents the localized centers of this economy, including Tres Picos Farms and the Cotton Gin near Cantua Creek. Scattered Labor Camp sites, a dedicated Landing Strip, and private holdings like Terry Ranch and Farrell Ranch illustrate the organized, large-scale nature of Central Valley ranching and farming operations during this era. Industrial infrastructure is further evidenced by clusters of Oil Tanks and Gas Tanks throughout the territory.
