1920 Map of Santa Rita Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The San Joaquin River defines the central axis of this landscape, its winding course flanked by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. During this era of agricultural development under Hiram W. Johnson, the region was characterized by large land holdings and specialized outposts. The namesake Santa Rita Bridge serves as a critical crossing point, connecting the Santa Rita Ranch to the surrounding valley. Further south, the presence of the Temple Gun Club and Temple Ranch suggests a landscape utilized for both large-scale ranching and seasonal recreation. Local geography is dominated by numerous sloughs, including Mariposa Slough, Wood Slough, and Ashton Slough, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the valley floor before modern water management fully transformed the terrain. Outlying agricultural centers like Lucerne Farm and Colony Farm provide specific locations for genealogical and local history research.
