Overview

Excerpt from Tulare County To one who enters this rich country for the first time the impression is that here is great wealth waiting to be easily developed, for wherever it is possible to discover the vertical extent of the soil it is found to be of an almost incredible depth, as much as thirty feet and even more being not uncommon for here, as in all parts of the San Joaquin Valley, the arable land is made of a rich alluvial deposit, the accumulation of geologic ages of washings from the granite mountains. The surface of the country, until the foothills are reached, appears as level as a billiard table, though there is a dip to the west of about nine feet to the mile, and much of it looks like eastern pasture land on account of the frequency with which great spreading oaks are seen, with cattle and sheep grazing beneath them.
