1968 Map of Cooperstown

About this map

The Sierra RR cuts across the northern landscape of this map, passing through the small settlements of Warnerville and Cooperstown as it navigates the Sierra Nevada Foothills. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, most notably the extensive Modesto Main Canal and Modesto Lower Main Canal systems that draw from the Tuolumne River. Along the riverbanks, significant Dredge Tailings reveal the area's industrial mining history, while the southern boundary is anchored by the recreational and ecological expanse of Turlock Lake and Turlock Lake State Park. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Roberts Ferry Sch and several small rural Cem sites, providing valuable geographic points for genealogists tracing families in these foothills east of Waterford.
