1955 Map of Lone Tree Creek

About this map

Buckeye Mines and Ladd Mine anchor the industrial geography of this mid-century survey, situated within a complex system of ridges and canyons at the intersection of San Joaquin, Alameda, and Stanislaus counties. The land is defined by prominent topographical features such as North Ridge, South Ridge, and Pegleg Ridge, where numerous seasonal springs and mineral sources emerge. The presence of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct in the northern reaches signals the vital role this landscape played in California's water infrastructure.
