1953 Map of Escalon

Evidence of local history and rural life is prominent through several schools, including Lone Tree Sch, Dent Union Sch, and Union High Sch. The southern border of the map follows the winding Stanislaus River, where a complex system of water management is visible via the Irrigation Canal, Thalheim Canal, and numerous laterals like the Fairbanks Lateral. Genealogists will find the Burwood Cem and the small siding at Huntley particularly useful for tracing mid-century family locations.
