1996 Map of Lathrop
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The confluence of rail and river commerce defines this landscape in the San Joaquin Valley, dominated by the logistical footprint of the Sharpe General Depot. Situated at a critical junction of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads, the town of Lathrop serves as a central hub between the branching waterways of the San Joaquin River and Old River. The map captures a complex hydrological network where man-made diversions like Paradise Cut and the San Joaquin Irrigation District canals overlay the natural meandering of the Pescadero (Grimes) Slough. To the west, the Stewart Tract and Roberts Island illustrate the reclaimed agricultural character of the delta region, supported by numerous pumps and levees. Industrial sites like the Magnesium Plant near West Manteca sit alongside rural remnants such as Garden Sch and Rustic Sch, marking the transition from traditional farming to heavy industry.
