1940 Map of San Benito

About this map

San Benito serves as a central hub for this rural California landscape, where the San Benito River and Tres Pinos Creek carve through the California Mountains. The map reveals a decentralized community reliant on a network of one-room schoolhouses, including Cottonwood School, Live Oak School, and Emmett School, reflecting the era's educational infrastructure. Transportation is anchored by the Hollister and New Idria Road, which connects various remote ranching operations like Los Muertos and Elkhorn Ranch.
