1915 Map of Trigo

About this map

Thompson Rancho and the agricultural lands along the San Joaquin and Stanislaus county boundary line dominate this 1915 survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Duck Creek, Littlejohns Creek, and Rock Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and transportation routes. The Southern Pacific Oakdale Branch and the Milton Branch railroads provide essential connectivity for the region's produce, with the settlement of Farmington serving as a primary hub. Local rural life is anchored by the Wheatland School and Farm Cottage School, while the historic Copperopolis Road cuts across the northern terrain. This era of California history is captured here just as the small stop at Trigo and the land holdings of Simmons were established parts of the Central Valley’s developing grid.
