1952 Map of Vernalis

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

El Pescadero (Grimes) Grant dominates this landscape along the San Joaquin riverfront during the early 1950s, revealing a region defined by complex water management and transportation. The map captures the significant presence of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal cutting across the terrain south of the San Joaquin River. While Vernalis and Rhodes serve as small rail stops, the historical San Joaquin City (Site) is noted as a former settlement location near the river's winding bends. The transition from early 20th-century agriculture to modern infrastructure is evident in the proximity of the Deuel Vocational Institution to established family-named routes like Lorenzen Road and Perrin Road. The dual presence of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads illustrates the area's importance as a central California transit corridor for both freight and passengers.
