Broadside, 48x60.5 cm (19x24 inches). Large, detailed map showing railroads, wagon roads, canals and ditches, streams, and several supervisor district boundaries. Pierce & Anderson, specializing in both insurance and real estate brokerage, became the largest insurance agency in interior California. This map shows the countywide 160-acre plots. Probably printed after The Reclamation Act of 1902 that required farmers live on their land and receive only water for their 160 acres. Nevertheless, from 1915 until the mid forties water from deep wells irrigated the land and lowered the water table which ultimately led to the creation of Westlands. Tears along folds professionally mended, a very good copy. Professionally matted and shrink wrapped on acid free foamcore. (#166360).
