1956 Map of Palo Escrito Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Salinas River valley in the mid-1950s is defined here by its legacy of Spanish land grants and its mid-century infrastructure. Massive historical tracts like Guadalupe y Llanitos de los Correos, Paraje de Sanchez, and Ex Mission Soledad partition the landscape, illustrating the enduring influence of the rancho system on Monterey County property lines. Along the northeastern corridor, the Southern Pacific railroad serves small agricultural sidings such as Molus and Camphora, while the Soledad State Prison and Gonzales Fire Sta mark the institutional footprint of the era.
