1968 Map of Lodi North

About this map

The Mokelumne River snakes through the heart of this landscape, its winding course defining the boundary between the expanding city of Lodi and the agricultural lands to the north. In this era, Lodi is a bustling hub for the Central Valley's viticulture and industry, shown with a dense street grid featuring St Annes Academy, Lawrence Sch, and the Grape Festival Grounds. The map illustrates a transition from urban development to rural vineyard country, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads facilitate the movement of goods from small loading points like Acampo and Urgon.
