1942 Map of Carbona

About this map

The growing railroad hub of Tracy anchors this 1942 survey, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific lines converge. The landscape transitions from the flat, irrigated fields of the Central Valley into the complex ridges of the Diablo Range to the south. Notable for local historians, the map identifies several rural educational landmarks including Jefferson School, New Jerusalem School, and Rising Sun School. Along the western edge, the Tesla Branch railroad line winds toward the foothills, serving the industry near Black Butte.
