1968 Map of Stockton East

About this map

The eastern edges of Stockton expand into the agricultural landscape of San Joaquin County, revealing a complex network of water management and transportation infrastructure in the late 1960s. The Stockton Diverting Canal and Mormon Slough cut through the terrain, illustrating the region's efforts to redirect water away from the city's urban core. To the south, major industrial and institutional footprints appear, including the Sharpe Army Depot (Field Annex) and the Northern California Youth Center, both served by the extensive rail lines of the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. This survey also documents local rural hubs like Collegeville and small settlements like Walthal, alongside numerous family-named landmarks and schools such as Chartville Sch and Glenwood Sch, which served the outlying farm communities before further suburban development.
