About this map

Southern Pacific rail lines and a complex network of irrigation infrastructure define this Merced County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1940s. The settlement of Volta serves as a central hub along the tracks, while Trent marks a smaller stop to the southeast. The engineering of the Central Valley is on full display through the paths of the Main Canal and Outside Canal, which cut across the terrain to manage water flow from San Luis Creek and Los Banos Creek.
