About this map

The agricultural heart of the Salinas Valley unfolds along the Salinas River, capturing a period of significant post-war expansion and the deep roots of Monterey County's ranching history. The city of Salinas serves as a dense urban hub, showing its growth from the original street grid out toward newer developments like Bolsa Knolls and Santa Rita. The landscape is partitioned by historic Spanish land grants, including Bolsa de las Escorpinas and Sausal, reflecting a transition from traditional landholdings to modernized industrial agriculture.
