1951 Map of Tulare

About this map

Tulare serves as a dense agricultural and transit hub in this mid-century survey, defined by its extensive network of irrigation infrastructure and educational institutions. The map reveals a town heavily invested in its future, featuring numerous neighborhood schools such as Maple Sch, Central Sch, and Roosevelt Sch, along with the large Union H S campus and a dedicated High School Farm. Outside the city center, the landscape is carved by the Tulare Irrigation District Canal, Elk Bayou, and dozens of named ditches like Prosperity Ditch and Farmers Ditch, which support the surrounding orchards and fields.
