1952 Map of Dozier

About this map

Sacramento Northern rail lines cut across this agricultural and wetland landscape in Solano County, connecting remote whistle-stops and siding settlements during the mid-20th century. The map highlights the transition from terrestrial farming to the complex waterway network of the California Delta, anchored by the Hastings Tract. Notable early local infrastructure is visible, including the Maine Prairie School and the nearby Maine Prairie (Site), indicating the shift of settlement patterns over time. The drainage and transport economy of the region is clearly defined by engineered waterways such as Calhoun Cut, The Big Ditch, and Lindsey Slough. Small agricultural hubs like Binghamton, Dozier, and Bunker are situated along the rail and road corridors, while the presence of a Naval Reservation and Military Res reflects the strategic importance of the area's geography.
