1968 Map of Turlock Lake

About this map

Turlock Lake dominates the northern landscape of this survey, surrounded by the recreational grounds of Turlock Lake State Park. The region's agricultural character is defined by an extensive irrigation network, including the Main Canal and North Side Canal, which divert water across the undulating terrain. To the south, the natural drainage of Dry Creek and Peaslee Creek winds toward the Ingalsbe Slough, illustrating the transition from managed water systems to the area's original riparian features. The map captures the boundary line between Stanislaus County and Merced County, with a grid of rural routes such as Silva Road and Keyes Road providing access to the various wells and agricultural plots that sustain the local economy during this era.
