About this map

The settlement of Rosedale is the primary hub of this Central Valley landscape, surveyed at the end of the 1920s when irrigation and rail transport defined local life. The map shows a highly organized grid of roads and water infrastructure, including the Lerdo Canal and Calloway Canal which sustained the agricultural economy. Regional connectivity is centered on the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which utilized several sidings such as Lerdo Siding and Una Siding for freight and transit. Community life is anchored by landmarks such as the White Church, Palm Sch, and Greely Sch. The presence of Rosedale Sta further highlights the importance of the rail network to this developing district, where avenues like Seventh Standard Avenue and Lerdo Highway provided early automobile access across the flat terrain.
