1952 Map of Merritt

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley is defined here by the intricate drainage of Willow Slough and Dry Slough north of the emerging city of Davis. The map highlights a significant period of institutional and infrastructural expansion, anchored by the sprawling grounds of the University of California and the University Airport. The historical Southern Pacific rail line runs north-south through the settlement of Merritt, a stark contrast to the vast open tracts of the Rio De Los Putos land grant. Local educational history is preserved through the locations of the Fairfield Sch and West Davis Sch, while the Yolo County Airport serves as a major landmark on the western edge. The transition from traditional ranching boundaries like the Grant Boundary to modern municipal features like the Sewage Disposal facility reflects the mid-century urbanization of Yolo County.
