1947 Map of Salinas

About this map

Salinas and its agricultural hinterland are captured here during the post-war expansion of the late 1940s, showing the city's growth alongside industrial landmarks like the Power Plant and the local Southern Pacific rail infrastructure. The landscape is defined by a series of historic Spanish and Mexican land grants, including Nacional and La Natividad, which dictated the early pattern of ownership and settlement in Monterey County. To the west, the Fort Ord Military Reservation dominates the coastal ridges, featuring specialized training areas such as Machine Gun Flats and the Rifle Range.
