1916 Map of Saxon

About this map

Oakland Antioch and Eastern electric railway tracks cut a sharp diagonal through this 1916 landscape, connecting the rural reaches of Solano and Yolo counties. This corridor represents a brief, high-speed era of interurban travel before the widespread dominance of the automobile. The terrain is marked by the sprawling Yolo Basin in the southeast corner, reflecting the seasonally inundated floodplains of the Sacramento Valley. Small agricultural sidings and stops like Saxon and Millar anchor the railroad line, serving as vital shipping points for local farmers. The map captures a grid-based land system defined by section lines and drainage patterns, illustrating how early 20th-century California managed water and transit across the low-lying valley floor. Genealogists may find interest in the precise placement of these early rail stops and the transition of the Boundary Line between the two counties.
