1940 Map of Byron

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Byron Hot Springs sits at the foot of the hills, marking a transition between the elevated terrain of Brushy Peak and the complex water systems of the California Delta. This 1940s survey reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of sloughs and man-made canals, such as the Victoria Canal and Grant Line Canal, which partition the low-lying Woodward Island and Victoria Island. The region's agricultural and transportation infrastructure is well-established, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting through Brentwood and Oakley, and the San Francisco and San Joaquin rail line serving the southern stretches.
