USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Tuolumne River defines the northern reaches of this Central Valley landscape, where the growing city of Modesto transitions into the agriculture-focused community of Ceres. This late 1960s survey captures the intricate irrigation network essential to the region's productivity, dominated by a grid of lateral canals such as Upper Lateral No 2 and Lower Lateral No 3. Transportation and industry are centered along the Southern Pacific and Tidewater Southern rail lines, which parallel the diagonal corridor through the town centers.
