1950 Map of Gerber
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Southern Pacific rail lines anchor the agricultural landscape of Tehama County at mid-century, following the western bank of the Sacramento River. This 1950 survey reveals a highly organized grid of rural avenues and lateral roads, such as Las Flores Ave and Gerber Road, which supported the citrus and orchard industry of the Las Flores land grant. The town of Gerber appears as a prominent rail hub, complete with its water tank and oil tank, while the river's influence is seen in the extensive levee systems protecting nearby Tehama and the surrounding bottomlands.
