1956 Map of Westhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Agricultural infrastructure dominates this 1950s survey of the San Joaquin Valley, where the dry expanse of the Tulare Lake Bed meets a rigid grid of industrial farming avenues. The small settlement of Westhaven serves as a hub alongside the Southern Pacific tracks and its associated Westhaven Siding. This landscape is defined by the transition from natural basins to highly engineered irrigation and transport networks, evidenced by the Empire Westside Canal and Blakeley Levee in the southeast. Large-scale ranching operations like Boston Ranch, Allen Ranch, and Stratford Ranch are mapped with their specific components, including a Grain Elevator and various Grain Tanks. The presence of the Avenal Cutoff Road and a dedicated Landing Strip highlights the era's reliance on both rail and localized aerial logistics for managing these expansive interior valley holdings.
