1940 Map of Salinas
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The agricultural heart of the Salinas Valley is captured here in the transition between the late Depression era and the onset of World War II mobilization. The city of Salinas serves as the central hub, surrounded by a complex system of drainage and irrigation indicated by the Salinas River, Alisal Slough, and Natividad Creek. The landscape is deeply tied to its Spanish land grant heritage, with large tracts like Nacional, El Alisal (Bernal), and Corral de Tierra defining the property boundaries that shaped local development.
