1949 Map of Thompson Canyon

About this map

King City sits at the junction of the Salinas River valley and the rugged coastal ranges, serving as a vital agricultural and transit hub along the Southern Pacific railroad line. This 1949 survey, with revisions into the early 1980s, illustrates the town's expansion toward San Lorenzo County Park and the development of local infrastructure like a sewage disposal plant and multiple pumping stations. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is defined by a series of dramatic land grants and drainages, including the Posa de los Ositos and San Bernabe areas.
