1941 Map of Modesto West

About this map

Grayson and Westley anchor the southwestern landscape of this 1941 survey, where the San Joaquin River and Tuolumne River converge. The area is defined by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure, including Lateral No 6 and Main Canal, which transformed this part of the Central Valley into a highly organized agricultural grid. A notable human element is the Farm Security Administration Camp near Westley, providing a rare look at the Depression-era social geography of migrant labor.
