1968 Map of Stockton East

About this map

Stockton serves as the focal point for this survey, revealing the eastward expansion of the city during the late 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management and transportation networks, featuring the Stockton Diverting Canal, Mormon Slough, and Duck Creek. Notable institutional presence is marked by the sprawling Northern California Youth Center and the Sharpe Army Depot (Field Annex), which anchor the southern half of the map alongside the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The agricultural character of the outskirts is punctuated by small settlements like Collegeville and Littlejohns, and numerous local education sites such as Franklin High Sch and Chartville Sch. A heavy rail presence is evident, with the Southern Pacific, Tidewater Southern, and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe lines crisscrossing the valley floor, highlighting the region's importance as a logistical hub.
