About this map

The rail junctions of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific define the landscape south of Tracy, where the San Joaquin Valley meets the rising Diablo Range. Surveyed in the 1910s, this area shows a dense network of early transit and agriculture before mid-century expansion. The map records several vanished or remote landmarks, including the isolated Brichetto Tomb and the curiously named Dutch Freds Place.

Along the eastern edge, the San Joaquin River meanders through the El Pescadero (Grimes) land grant, passing the settlement of San Joaquin City. In the higher elevations to the southwest, the terrain becomes more industrial and resource-focused, marked by the Buckeye Mines and the Tesla Branch railroad line. Small rural education hubs like New Jerusalem School and Rising Sun School provide valuable touchstones for genealogists researching the families of this agricultural corridor.
