1907 Map of Davisville

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through the heart of the Yolo and Sacramento county borderlands, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal flooding and early hydraulic engineering. This 1905 survey captures the transition of Davisville before its name was shortened to Davis, situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific rail lines. Along the river, a complex network of bars and shoals like Twelvemile Bar and Sixmile Bar required active management, evidenced by the Elkhorn Weir and the Pumping Plant near the city of Sacramento. To the west, the ephemeral nature of the terrain is marked by Cache Creek Sink and the expansive Tule Canal, which managed runoff between the rail corridor and the river's Boundary Line. Genealogists may find interest in small riverfront settlements such as Washington Broderick P.O. and Sutterville, or the rural Lisbon School located near the Brickyard and Claypit industries.
