1917 Map of Compton Landing

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through this portion of Colusa County, defined by its complex bends and the expansive lowlands of the Colusa Basin. At the time of this 1904 survey, the river served as a primary artery for movement, anchored by riverside points like Compton Landing and Boggs Landing. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Larkins Childrens Rancho, reflecting the legacy of Spanish and Mexican land grants in the Central Valley. Irrigation infrastructure and natural drainage are central to the landscape, with features such as Stone Corral Creek, Cheney Slough, and the dramatic Hamilton Bend illustrating the hydraulic complexity of the region. This map records a specific moment in the reclamation and agricultural development of the valley floor before modern levee systems fully transformed the natural floodplains.
