1949 Map of Visalia

About this map

Visalia serves as the focal point of this Central Valley landscape, showing a mid-century city defined by its intricate irrigation network and growing educational footprint. The map captures the significant expansion of the city's residential and institutional boundaries, notably including the College of the Sequoias and numerous local schools like Carrie Barnett Sch and Mt Whitney High School. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is a grid of agricultural utility, where the St Johns River and a system of man-made waterways like Wutchumna Ditch and Persian Ditch sustain the surrounding fields.
