1939 Map of Bellota

About this map

The Mokelumne River and Calaveras River define the agricultural and transit corridors of this Central Valley landscape. The settlement pattern is anchored by small community hubs such as Lockeford and Clements, while the rural expanse is dotted with a remarkably high density of local school districts, including Oakview Union Sch, Washington Sch, and Harmony Grove Sch. These schools, often situated at crossroads, suggest a well-distributed farming population during this era.
