1952 Map of Lathrop
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
The Sharpe General Depot dominates the eastern landscape of this San Joaquin Valley survey, illustrating the significant military and logistical presence in the region during the mid-20th century. Bordered by the San Joaquin River and the complex waterways of the Stewart Tract and Roberts Island, the area is a maze of levees, pumps, and sloughs such as Tom Paine Slough and Pescadero (Grimes) Cut. The town of Lathrop serves as a critical rail junction, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific lines converge near industrial sites like the Magnesium Plant and Basalt Plant. Rural life is evidenced by the Garden Sch and Rustic Sch, while the river crossing at Mossdale highlights the historical importance of this corridor for both rail and road transport between the valley and the coast.
