1941 Map of Modesto West

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Tuolumne River and Stanislaus River converge with the San Joaquin River in this detailed 1940s landscape, documenting a critical era of agricultural development in the Central Valley. A complex irrigation network of laterals, such as Lateral No 4 and Lateral No 6, defines the territory between Modesto and Ripon. This survey preserves the locations of numerous rural institutions, including the Westport Church and the Shiloh School, alongside the Farm Security Administration Camp near Westley, reflecting the New Deal-era infrastructure of the region. The map also traces the distinct rail corridors of the Southern Pacific and the Tidewater Southern, illustrating how these lines bridged the river-bottom lands of the Rancho Del Puerto with burgeoning market centers.
