1953 Map of San Luis Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

San Luis Ranch and Romero Ranch stand as prominent markers of the mid-century agricultural landscape in Merced County, where the transition from ranching traditions to modern irrigation is clearly visible. The eastern portion of the map is defined by an emerging water delivery network, including the Delta-Mendota Canal, the San Luis Canal, and a siphon and pumping station that signal the massive mid-century changes to California's hydraulic infrastructure. This interplay between the natural flow of San Luis Creek and the engineered waste-way illustrates the intensive management of resources during this era.
