1952 Map of Avena

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Lone Tree Creek meanders through a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and a dense network of early California railroads in the early 1950s. The region is bisected by several competing rail lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the Southern Pacific, and the Tidewater Southern, which supported the transport of produce from the surrounding San Joaquin valley orchards and fields. Small agricultural loading points and settlements like Avena, Carrolton, and Van Allen dot the landscape alongside local landmarks like a winery near Simms. Public education is represented by rural schoolhouses such as Four Trees School and Wildwood Sch. Along the southern boundary, the Stanislaus River and the Main District Canal illustrate the vital role of water management in this high-production farming belt near the border of San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties.
