1960 Map of Ingomar

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks form the spine of this agricultural landscape in the San Joaquin Valley, connecting the town of Gustine and the Ingomar Ranch settlement. The region is defined by a complex hydraulic network designed to manage seasonal water, including the San Luis Holding Reservoir, the San Luis Wasteway, and the San Luis Spillway. While farming dominates the western parcels along Pfizer Road and Husman Road, the eastern marshlands near Mud Slough and Los Banos Creek are home to a remarkable density of private sporting clubs, such as the Cottonwood Gun Club, Hollister Gun Club, and Triangle Gun Club. The presence of the Old Santa Fe Grade and numerous Duck Ponds highlights the dual identity of the land as both a reclaimed industrial waterway and a preserved habitat for migratory waterfowl.
