1955 Map of Weed Patch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Kern Lake Bed and the surrounding agricultural landscape of the southern San Joaquin Valley define this mid-century survey. The map documents a highly managed hydrological environment, where the Kern Island Canal and East Side Canal feed a network of ditches and pipelines necessary for large-scale farming and ranching operations like Greenfield Ranch. The social and economic history of the era is reflected in the presence of the Arvin Farm Labor Supply Center and various private recreation sites, including the Dust Bowl Duck Club and Rancho De Los Patos Duck Club.
