1917 Map of Compton Landing

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through the heart of this early twentieth-century landscape, defining the agricultural and transport patterns of Colusa County. This area is characterized by the expansive Larkins Childrens Rancho and the low-lying Colusa Basin, where early water management is evidenced by an Irrigation Canal and the Cheney and Slough. The river itself served as a vital artery, marked by small riverside outposts like Boggs Landing and Compton Landing. Researchers can trace the natural topography of the floodplain, including the sharp turn at Hamilton Bend and the drainage of Stone Corral Creek. The map documents a period when the valley's development was deeply tied to these river landings and the burgeoning irrigation infrastructure necessary for large-scale ranching.
