1910 Map of Galt

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad anchors the central valley landscape of this 1910 survey, connecting the grid-patterned town of Galt to northern outposts. Along this rail corridor, small settlements such as McConnell, Arno, and the stop at Need reflect a period of agricultural transit and local development before the arrival of modern highways. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of the Cosumnes River, which meanders through the Omochumnes and San Jon de los Moquelumnes land grants.
