1952 Map of Jersey Island

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Jersey Island and the surrounding reclaimed lands of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta appear here in a complex network of levees, sloughs, and tracts. This mid-century survey captures the region's intricate water management system, showing numerous pump houses and tide gages necessary for maintaining these low-lying agricultural and residential areas. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad skirts the southern edge of the map, providing a vital connection to the mainland across the marshy terrain of Big Break. On Bethel Island, a developing road network including Sunset Drive and Gateway Road suggests the transition toward recreational and residential use. The landscape is defined by its deep-water channels, including the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River, which isolate large landmasses like the Webb Tract and Bradford Island, accessible only by ferry or watercraft at the time of this survey.
