1961 Map of Turlock
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Turlock serves as the primary urban center in this early 1960s agricultural survey, dominated by a grid of orchards and vineyards supported by the Turlock Canal and Highline Canal. The Southern Pacific railroad bisects the landscape diagonally, connecting the growing hub of Turlock to the smaller settlement of Delhi. To the south, the Merced River winds through the valley floor, marking the boundary between Stanislaus and Merced Counties. This period of Central Valley history is reflected in the numerous local schools, such as Elim Sch and Schendel Sch, which serve the rural communities of Hilmar and Irwin. The map provides a detailed view of the irrigation infrastructure, including multiple laterals like Lateral No 6, which turned this portion of the San Joaquin Valley into a highly productive farming region.
