1931 Map of Wheatville

About this map

Wheatville stands at the heart of an intricate irrigation network in Fresno County, where a grid of rural avenues and water diversions defined the early 20th-century landscape. Surveyed in 1928, this map illustrates the systematic conversion of the Central Valley into highly organized agricultural units. The movement of water is the primary theme, managed through features like the Stinson Canal, Madera Canal, and the Elkhorn Ditch. The presence of the Fresno Slough in the northeast corner serves as a reminder of the region's natural hydrology before it was further constrained by the expanding canal system.
