1968 Map of Lockeford

About this map

The Mokelumne River winds through this Central Valley landscape, defining the agricultural character of San Joaquin County during the late 1960s. The settlement of Lockeford serves as a local anchor near the riverbanks, while smaller communities like Victor, Peltier, and Youngstown are connected by a dense grid of rural roads and the Central California Traction railroad. This map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by several burial grounds including Locke Cem, Elliott Cem, and the Harmony Grove Cemetery located near the Harmony Grove Church.
