1951 Map of Fairfield North

About this map

Blue Ridge Mountains dominate the central landscape of this 1951 survey, creating a topographical divide between the agricultural valleys of Suisun Valley and Vaca Valley. The transition from the rugged highlands to the developed lowlands is marked by a network of rural schools and small settlements, including Mankas Corner and Cherry Glen. To the north, Lake Curry serves as a significant water feature near Bull Hill, while the eastern plains reveal the path of the Sacramento Northern and the Southern Pacific railroads. A notable historical detail is the Pena House, situated along the eastern slopes. The southern edge of the map shows the burgeoning layout of Fairfield, including the County Hospital and various civic reservoirs, capturing the area during a period of mid-century infrastructure growth and agricultural stability.
