1940 Map of Metz

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Salinas River valley serves as a primary corridor for transportation and agriculture in this 1940 tactical survey, where the Pacific railroad line parallels the water through the settlement of Metz. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Gabilan Range, anchored by the Pinnacles National Monument and its distinctive Pinnacle Rocks. The map documents a landscape of large-scale landholdings and canyons, including the Topo Ranch and Schmidt Ranch, alongside the grid-planned streets of Greenfield. Water management and natural features are central to the region's character, seen in the wide channel of the Arroyo Seco and various named canyons like Cinco Canoas Canyon and Agua Grande Canyon. This edition reflects a period of transition, utilizing aerial photography from the 82nd Observation Squadron to update earlier topographic surveys, capturing the exact placement of rural landmarks like the Metz School and Coburn Ranch before further development altered the valley floor.
