1916 Map of Cressey
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
Livingston anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, established as a central node where the State Southern Pacific Highway meets the San Francisco and New Orleans Line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Merced River, which cuts through the central portion of the sheet. This area shows an early-century irrigation and transportation network in Merced County, where artificial waterways like the High Line Canal and the Livingston Canal supported agricultural development between the competing rail lines of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific (Oakdale Branch). Small rural centers like Cressey and Ballico appear as modest rail stops, while the presence of Madison School, Banfield School, and Fruitland School suggests a distributed community of farm families and early settlers.
