1956 Map of Stockton

About this map

Stockton serves as the focal point of this survey, which captures a landscape transformed by the creation of the Stockton Lake reservoir. The map documents the flooded valleys where the Sac River and Little Sac River converge, revealing how the rising waters reshaped local geography around landmarks like Gravely Bluff and Rudledge Bluff. While the town of Stockton remains on high ground, southern areas show the emergence of recreation-focused infrastructure, including the Stockton Public Use Area and Orleans Trail Public Use Area.
