1953 Map of Denverton

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Montezuma Slough and Nurse Slough define this intricate tidal landscape, where the marshlands of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta meet the rising ground of the Potrero Hills. This 1953 survey, with revisions into the late 1970s, documents a transition from early waterfront commerce at sites like Beldons Landing and Lingos Landing to modern state and federal uses. The Sacramento Northern railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the map, passing the rural crossroads of Rio Vista Junction and Shilo Church. The map details the military presence at the Potrero Hills Storage Annex (USAF) near Travis Air Force Base, contrasted with the conservation efforts at the Joice Island State Game Refuge. From the Tolenas Grant in the north to Grizzly Bay in the south, the sheet tracks the complex network of sloughs, including Hill Slough and Denverton Slough, that have shaped Solano County agriculture and transport.
