1947 Map of Spreckels
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The industrial operations of the Spreckels Sugar Co dominate the northeastern corner of this 1940s landscape, positioned strategically along the Salinas River. This company town was built around what was once the world's largest sugar beet factory, and the map clearly delineates the rail spurs and settling ponds required for its processing. Moving southwest from the river valley, the terrain shifts into the complex ridges and canyons of the Fort Ord Military Reservation and the sprawling grazing lands of the Corral De Tierra.
