1952 Map of Dozier

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Hastings Tract and its intricate network of levees dominate this low-lying landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the tidal influence of the Sacramento River delta. In the early 1950s, the region was defined by a complex drainage system including Calhoun Cut, Hastings Cut, and several sloughs like Lindsey Slough. While the map records the Maine Prairie (Site), the surrounding area shows the persistence of small rail stops and settlements such as Dozier, Binghamton, and Olcott along the Sacramento Northern rail line. The presence of numerous windmills and a Gas Well near Barker Slough underscores the dual reliance on groundwater for ranching and the emerging extraction industries. Local educational and military footprints are evident at the Maine Prairie School and a Naval Reservation in the northeast, marking a landscape in transition between traditional agriculture and mid-century utility infrastructure.
