USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta landscape dominates this 1911 survey, showing a complex network of levees and reclaimed tracts at the height of its early agricultural development. The eastern half of the map is a maze of waterways including the Old River and Middle River, bordering massive reclamation projects like the Holland Tract, Bacon Island, and Woodward Island. These islands are dotted with numerous unnamed pumping plants, illustrating the immense engineering effort required to drain the delta for farming.
