1912 Map of Chico Landing

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a serpentine path through this Northern California landscape, defining the border between Glenn and Butte counties. The river's intricate hydrology is fully visible through numerous bypasses and side channels like Kusal Slough, Perch Slough, and the dramatic loop at Lincoln Bend. This 1912 survey captures the transition from old river-based commerce to the rising rail economy, centered around the settlement of Chico Landing where the Northern Electric RR crosses the water. To the east, the vast tracts of Rancho Farwell and Llano Seco indicate the enduring influence of early land grants on the region's agricultural layout. Local life is anchored by a network of rural schoolhouses, including Bidwell School and Parrott School, serving the families settled along the fertile reaches of Little Chico Creek and Sandy Gulch Creek.
