1952 Map of Manteca

About this map

The agricultural and industrial character of the San Joaquin Valley is well-established in this mid-century view of Manteca. Centered on the intersection of the Southern Pacific and Tidewater Southern railroads, the town shows signs of post-war expansion. Local industry is anchored by the Sugar Refinery and a Winery near Bardi, reflecting the region's productive landscape. The map also delineates the historic Campo de los Franceses land grant in the northwest corner, where French Camp Slough and Lone Tree Creek traverse the flat terrain.
