1953 Map of Elmira

About this map

The Travis Air Force Base complex and its adjacent Travis Field dominate the southern portion of this mid-century landscape, illustrating the military's significant footprint in Solano County during the Cold War. To the northwest, the expansion of Vacaville is visible, including the California Medical Facility and the burgeoning community of Leisure Town. The map captures a transitional era where traditional agricultural lands, marked by the Putah South Canal and the English Hills, began to integrate with major infrastructure like the Nut Tree Airport and various education facilities such as Vanden High Sch and Cooper School.
