1956 Map of Charleston School

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Agricultural development and massive water infrastructure define this central California landscape at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The Delta-Mendota Canal and the California Aqueduct dominate the terrain, illustrating the engineering scale required to sustain the region's farms. Near the intersection of Mervel Ave and local access roads, the namesake Charleston Sch stands as a focal point for the rural community. To the north, the presence of the Duck Ponds and several private organizations, including the Santa Cruz Gun Club and Brite Gun Club, indicates a landscape shared between industrial-scale farming and recreational marshland use. The transition from the flatlands to the foothills is marked by the Dos Amigos Pumping Plant, which anchors the water system near the rugged slopes of White VABM 829.
