1952 Map of Avena

About this map

Agricultural development and rail connectivity define this Central Valley landscape during the mid-century. The Southern Pacific and Tidewater Southern railroads cut horizontal paths through the territory, supporting small rural junctions like Simms, Carrollton, and Alba. The town of Escalon anchors the eastern edge of the survey, where the rail lines converge. Local education is represented by the isolated Four Trees School and River Sch near the southern border, while industrial footprints appear as several wineries situated near the tracks.
