1918 Map of Arbuckle

About this map

Arbuckle serves as the primary hub of this Sacramento Valley landscape, situated along the Southern Pacific (Woodland Line). The geography is defined by a series of seasonal waterways flowing eastward from the foothills, including Cortina Creek, Salt Creek, Sand Creek, and Elk Creek. These drainages converge toward the Colusa Basin, an area marked by extensive water management infrastructure. Notable examples include the Sycamore Canal, Davis Levee, and the Old Davis Levee, illustrating early 20th-century efforts to reclaim and protect agricultural land from the overflow of Sycamore Slough.
