1913 Map of Stockton

About this map

Stockton serves as the focal point of this pre-war survey, revealing a dense urban grid surrounded by an intricate network of waterways and reclaimed agricultural tracts. The map illustrates the city's heavy reliance on its waterfront, with the Stockton Channel and Mormon Slough providing vital access for commerce. Along the San Joaquin River and its various branches, numerous family-named river landings such as Barnhart Landing, Calaveras Landing, and Delfino Landing highlight the early 20th-century dependence on waterborne transport for the surrounding levee-protected lands like Roberts Island and the Weber Tract.
