About this map

The San Joaquin River and Tuolumne River converge in this fertile stretch of the Central Valley, defining a landscape dominated by large-scale water engineering and agricultural transport. The Southern Pacific railroad runs parallel to the California Aqueduct and Delta Mendota Canal, illustrating the vital infrastructure required to sustain the region's productivity. At the center of this network lies Westley, a rail-aligned settlement featuring a Landing Strip and proximity to the Del Puerto and St Marys Cem.

Further east, the historic river community of Grayson sits near the riverbanks, home to the Grayson Sch and Grayson Cem. The map reveals the intricate system of irrigation laterals, such as Lateral 4 North and Lateral 2 South, that crisscross the El Pescadero (Grimes) and Rancho Del Puerto lands. Landmarks like El Solyo Ranch and the County Honor Farm provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the development of Stanislaus County during this era.
