1969 Map of Waterford

About this map

The Tuolumne River and Stanislaus River anchor this late-1960s landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation and infrastructure supported Central Valley agriculture. The settlement of Waterford is the primary hub, situated near the southern edge where the Lower Waterford Canal and Modesto Main Canal move water across the valley floor. Evidence of the Spanish and Mexican land grant legacy persists in the northern portion of the map with the boundary of the Eight Square Leagues on Stanislaus River.
