In the map, the Site is depicted as vineyard and orchard located at approximately 45 to 50 feet above mean sea level. A driveway is depicted leading onto the Site from Lower Sacramento Road. Five structures are depicted on the Site. Surrounding properties are shown to be primarily vineyards and orchards as well; a residential subdivision is located southwest of the Site. The Mokelumne River is located approximately one-third of a mile south of the Site. This map is included as Plate 4 in Appendix 1. 3.0 HISTORICAL RESEARCH 3.1 Aerial Photographs Live Oak reviewed aerial photographs of the Site provided by the San Joaquin County Surveyor's Office in Stockton, California. The available photographs were dated 1937, 1940, 1952, 1963, and 1975. Three additional photographs, dated October 1998, March 2005, and December 2011, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. These photos are included as Appendix 3 of this report. In the 1937 and 1940 photos, three or more structures (all now removed) can be seen on the Site. A driveway leading onto the Site from Lower Sacramento Road can be seen; a second driveway leads from Woodbridge Road to a house on the parcel excluded from the current Site. The Site appears to be primarily vineyard, with one area of orchard, and two small unplanted areas. The surrounding properties are vineyards, orchards, and open land; rural residences can be seen to the south, southeast, and northwest of the Site. In the 1952 photo, an additional structure (the bunkhouse) can be seen on the Site. The open areas on the Site appear to have been planted. No other significant changes are apparent. LOGE 1504 2
