About this map

Stockton serves as the focal point of this pre-WWI landscape, defined by a dense grid of streets and a complex convergence of rail and water transport. The Stockton Channel reaches into the heart of the city, flanked by extensive tracts of reclaimed land such as the Weber Tract and Smith Tract. To the north, the massive grounds of the State Hospital and the Stockton Rural Cemetery mark the city's expanding footprint.

The surrounding Delta region is partitioned into named agricultural blocks like Roberts Island and Rough and Ready Island, separated by the San Joaquin River and various sloughs. Traces of early settlement patterns are visible at French Camp and The Homestead, while river landings like Calaveras Landing and Barnhart Landing illustrate the critical connection between the fertile inland tracts and waterborne commerce.
