1929 Map of Westhaven

About this map

The boundary between Fresno Co Kings Co bisects this agricultural landscape, recorded during a period of significant infrastructure development in the Central Valley. Irrigation and utility networks dominate the terrain, notably the San Joaquin and Light Power Corporation lines that stretch across the quadrangle. Transport and water management define the local economy, with the Southern Pacific railroad serving the station at Westhaven Sta. To the southeast, the water systems of the Empire Canal and the Blakeley Wasteway illustrate the complex hydraulic engineering required for farming in this region. The grid of the land is further established by prominent thoroughfares such as Jamesan Avenue and Jayne Avenue, which provide the framework for the rural settlements of Westhaven and the nearby Henrietta Sub Station.
