1978 Map of Courtland
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Grand Island and Merritt Island anchor this survey of the Sacramento Delta, where the Sacramento River splits into the Steamboat Slough and Sutter Slough. The landscape is defined by its complex irrigation and transport network, featuring Numerous pumping stations and the Southern Pacific line running parallel to Snodgrass Slough. The town of Courtland serves as a central hub, home to the Bates Union Sch, while the historic community of Locke appears at the southern edge. The map captures the river-dependent economy of the late 1970s, marking specialized riverfront points like Steamboat Landing and Morgans Landing. Traces of earlier delta life are visible in the naming of the River Mansion and the small agricultural clusters at Paintersville and Hood.
