1949 Map of Fairfield South

About this map

The tidal marshlands of the State Game Refuge dominate this late 1940s landscape, where complex waterway systems like the Montezuma Slough and Suisun Slough define the geography of Joice Island and Grizzly Island. The map documents the northern reaches of the delta as the urban footprints of Fairfield and Suisun City began to expand toward the marshes. These developments are contrasted by rural stations and named railroad points like Thomasson, Subeet, and Jacksnipe along the Southern Pacific line.
