1952 Map of Butte City

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Sacramento River dominates the western edge of this 1952 topographic study, its course reinforced by an extensive system of levees that protect the agricultural lowlands of Glenn and Colusa counties. This era of Sacramento Valley development is characterized by a landscape of braided waterways and seasonal drainage, including Angel Slough, Campbell Slough, and Howard Slough. The settlement of Butte City serves as a local focal point near the river, while the smaller community of Afton sits further east along the Biggs Princeton Road.
