1953 Map of Montpelier

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define the landscape of eastern Stanislaus County in this mid-century survey. The community of Montpelier serves as a local hub for the region's ranching and grain economy, anchored by a prominent Grain Elevator and a Water Tank along the Southern Pacific rail line. To the northwest, the settlement of Hickman sits near the crossing of the La Grange Main Canal, reflecting the complex irrigation infrastructure necessary for Central Valley farming. The map traces the intricate paths of the Turlock Main Canal and Monte Vista Canal, which snake through the undulating terrain. A network of rural roads, including Montpelier Road, Whitmore Ave, and La Grange Road, connects these scattered homesteads and windmills, marking the border where the county line meets Merced County.
