1915 Map of Salida
USGS Topo · Published 1915About this map
The Stanislaus River defines the northern boundary of this agricultural landscape, marking the line between San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. The interior reveals a highly organized irrigation network, featuring the Main Canal and various numbered laterals such as Lateral No 6 and Lateral No 7 that supported the region's early 20th-century orchard and field development. The rail-centered growth of the era is evident where the Southern Pacific (Fresno Line) bisects the town of Salida, while the Tidewater Southern railway services the eastern edge near Standiford. A grid of country schools, including Wood Colony School, Stanislaus School, and Hart School, serves the rural farming population, while the expanding northern blocks of Modesto anchor the southeastern corner of the survey.
