1956 Map of San Ardo

About this map

The Salinas River corridor defines the western edge of this mid-century landscape, serving as the primary artery for both the Southern Pacific railroad and local settlement. The community of San Ardo serves as the focal point, anchored by the San Ardo Church and a nearby Cemetery, while smaller stops like Docas and Lynch trace the path of the rail line. To the east, the terrain transitions into a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Peachtree Valley and the prominent Mustang Ridge.
