1951 Map of Fairfield North

About this map

The Vaca Mountains and Blue Ridge dominate this mid-century survey of Solano County, capturing the expansion of Fairfield and Vacaville as they began to encroach upon the agricultural landscape. The map highlights a complex water and transit network, from Lake Curry and the Gordon Valley Dam to the intersecting tracks of the Southern Pacific and Sacramento Northern railroads. Cultural and educational landmarks of the era are well-preserved, including the Peña House (Historic Site) and various rural schools such as Gomer School and Gordon Valley Sch. Urban growth is particularly visible through the 1970s revision layer, showing the outward spread of residential areas near Hemlock Sch and Fairfield High Sch, while the outlying Suisun Valley remains defined by its scattered settlements like Mankas Corner.
