About this map

Agricultural development in the San Joaquin Valley is meticulously documented here, showing the intricate irrigation network surrounding the Tule River. The landscape is defined by the branching paths of the North Branch Tule River, Middle Branch Tule River, and South Branch Tule River, alongside man-made water systems like the Wood Central Ditch. Settlements such as Woodville and Poplar serve as hubs for the surrounding farmsteads, while specialized sites like the Woodville Farm Labor Supply Center reflect the region's historical labor patterns.

Evidence of local social history appears in the distribution of rural institutions, including Vincent Sch and the Pleasant View School, contrasted with the Harmony Sch (Abandoned). Distinctive landmarks such as Schenley Ranch and the family-named crossings like Oettle Bridge provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing the evolution of Tulare County’s ranching and farming infrastructure during the mid-20th century.
