1942 Map of Modesto East

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define the landscape east of Modesto during the early 1940s. The region is heavily bifurcated by the Stanislaus River and Tuolumne River, which support an extensive irrigation network comprising the Modesto Canal, Ceres Canal, and numbered laterals. This complex water system facilitates the dense grid of rural schools serving the valley, including McHenry School, Robinson School, and Mills School.
