1950 Map of Vidal

About this map

Vidal Junction and the small railroad siding of Vidal serve as the primary hubs in this high desert landscape, situated at the intersection of critical infrastructure. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs through the center of the sheet, paralleling the Colorado River Aqueduct, which cuts diagonally across the terrain from the northeast. The presence of the Plant Quarantine Station highlights the importance of this corridor for interstate travel and agricultural regulation during the mid-century era.
