1912 Map of Salinas
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
The agricultural heart of the Salinas Valley unfolds along the Salinas River in this 1912 survey, revealing a landscape defined by expansive Spanish and Mexican land grants such as La Natividad, El Alisal, and Nacional. The city of Salinas stands as the primary hub, where the Southern Pacific RR intersects with the local narrow-gauge Pajaro Valley Consolidated RR. This rail network was vital to the valley’s early 20th-century economy, connecting the sugar beet factory town of Spreckels and various shipping points like Spence and Chualar.
