1916 Map of Patterson

About this map

The planned irrigation settlement of Patterson is the central focus of this 1913 survey, showing the town's distinctive radial street design as it emerged in the early twentieth century. Situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line, the town serves as a gateway between the flat agricultural valley and the sharply rising Coast Range foothills to the west. The transition from the valley floor to the upland terrain is marked by intricate contour lines defining features like Puerto Canyon and Black Gulch.
