About this map

State Engineer A. D. Edmonston and Governor Earl Warren oversee this mapping of the San Joaquin Delta's intricate hydraulic landscape. The terrain is defined by a complex network of reclaimed lands, including the Mc Donald Tract, Lower Jones Tract, and Rindge Tract, all protected by an extensive levee system. The Stockton Deep Water Channel serves as a primary maritime artery, cutting through the river's natural bends to facilitate commercial navigation.

Inland, the settlement of Holt and the industrial outpost at Lacto sit along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, illustrating the mid-century dependence on rail for agricultural transport. Traces of local education remain at the Holt Union Sch and the Kingston Sch, while the presence of the Mokelumne Aqueduct underscores the region's role in California's massive water infrastructure. Waterways like Whisky Slough and Trapper Slough weave through the tracts, punctuated by landing points such as Blackslough Landing.
