1953 Map of Denverton

About this map

Nurse Slough and Denverton Slough wind through a complex system of marshes and islands in this mid-century survey of the California Delta. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling Montezuma Hills and Potrero Hills down into the tidal reaches of Grizzly Island and Bradmoor Island. Human infrastructure is closely tied to these waterways, with sites like Meins Landing, Lingos Landing, and Beldons Landing marking the historical importance of river transport.
