1950 Map of Tulare

About this map

The agricultural hub of Tulare is anchored by the dual transport corridors of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. This mid-century survey illustrates the town's civic expansion, showing numerous educational facilities like St Aloysius Sch, Garden Ave Sch, and Tulare Western High Sch alongside the sprawling County Fairgrounds. The surrounding San Joaquin Valley landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the Tulare Irrigation District Canal and Bates Slough. Outside the city limits, smaller community nodes like Oakland Colony and the Old Peoples Home appear near aviation sites such as Rankin Airfield and the Tulare Municipal Airport, reflecting the region's post-war infrastructure growth.
