1941 Map of Franklin

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Bradford Winery and the agricultural lands south of Sacramento define this 1941 landscape, which captures a critical moment in the development of Central Valley transit and irrigation. The map reveals an intricate network of competing rail lines, including the Southern Pacific (Niles Line) and the Central California Traction Railway, as they converge near Elk Grove and Galt. The transition from rural homesteads to more formalized settlements is evident in the density of local schoolhouses like Carroll Sch and Reese School, which served the farming families of Bruceville and Hicksville.
