1952 Map of Davis

About this map

The Univ of Calif campus and the growing city of Davis serve as the focal point for this mid-century look at the Sacramento Valley landscape. The expansion of urban areas into the surrounding agricultural fields is clearly visible through revision overlays, marking the development of neighborhoods near North Davis Sch and Birch Lane Sch. To the east, the Yolo Bypass and the Yolo Causeway manage the region's complex water drainage, while the Southern Pacific railroad tracks bisect the community, connecting the small siding at Swingle to the central city.
