1916 Map of Tracy

About this map

The railroad junction at Tracy serves as the focal point for this 1912 survey, where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific networks converge. This era shows the San Joaquin Valley’s transition into a vital transportation hub, with long-distance routes like the Niles and Sacramento Line and the San Francisco and New Orleans Line intersecting near the town center. Small agricultural and transit points such as Ellis and Lyoth are positioned along these corridors, while the Tesla Branch strikes southwest toward the foothills.
