1908 Map of Vacaville

About this map

The agricultural plains of Solano County are bisected by the Southern Pacific and the Ogden Line in this early 20th-century survey. Vacaville and Dixon serve as the primary rail hubs, anchoring a landscape of smaller sidings and settlements like Hartley, Batavia, and Elmira. This era shows the transition of the region from open ranching toward industrial and utility development, evidenced by the Gas Well near the Mount Diablo Meridian and a Cement Mill situated in the Tolenas area to the south.
