1918 Map of La Grand

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Le Grand serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape during the early twentieth century, situated along the diagonal path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal waterways flowing from the foothills toward the valley floor, including Mariposa Creek, Deadman Creek, and the Chowchilla River. These watercourses dictated the local road patterns, such as the Plainsberg and Buchanan Hollow Road, which navigated the low-lying terrain between the creeks. Small rural social centers are visible at the Vineyard School and Appling School, providing essential locations for genealogists tracing family histories in the northern San Joaquin Valley. The map also captures the precise county boundaries between Mariposa, Madera, and Merced, illustrating the political geography of the era as it intersected with the natural flow of Ash Creek and Berenda Slough.
