1950 Map of Woodville

About this map

The Tule River splits into several distinct channels across this agricultural landscape, including the North Branch, Middle Branch, and South Branch. This 1950 survey, with updates through 1969, documents the intricate water management of the San Joaquin Valley via the Central Ditch and Poplar Ditch. The map provides a detailed look at rural infrastructure centered around the community of Woodville, including the Woodville Farm Labor Supply Center and the nearby Vincent Sch. Significant family and crossroads landmarks such as Lairds Corner and Lowes Corner are identified alongside local agricultural hubs like the Schenley Ranch. The presence of the Harmony Sch (Abandoned) and a local Cem offers valuable data for genealogists and local historians tracking the shifting settlement patterns of Tulare County mid-century.
