We took a street map of Fresno in 1960 and scanned it so those of us that need our memories refreshed, could better find old hangouts, restaurants and maybe even where your house was located. We simplified the map to only include Barstow Ave. to the North, California Ave. to the south, Peach Ave to the West and Marks Ave. to the East.
This was after all, the known Universe of Fresno for many years. Long before the major expansion of the North/East ~ Clovis area and the incredible growth of Northern Fresno starting at Shaw. In the 1950's we saw major housing tracks develop in the North Fresno (Cedar & Ashlan) and the exodus from the downtown. However, for the majority of the years that old Fresno was thriving, this central area depicted on our map was where it all happened.
Or map is divided into 4 grids with McKinley Ave. dividing the North and South and North Fresno Street the East and West. In the four posts below you, will find a high resolution enlargement for each of our zones. Investigate your Lost Fresno!
