1915 Map of Elkhorn Weir

USGS Topo · Published 1915

About this map

The Sacramento River defines the landscape of this survey, serving as the volatile border between Sacramento and Yolo counties before modern flood control reshaped the valley. This 1905 data captures the river's winding course through a series of significant landmarks like Elkhorn Weir and Tenmile Shoals, highlighting the reliance on river crossings at Datey's Ferry near the Taylor Monument. The low-lying terrain is dominated by the American Basin and Yolo Basin, where seasonal waters collected in features like Fisherman's Lake and Tadhunter's Lake. Early settlements and landings, such as Mound Ranch, Marty, and Beatrice, are situated along the riverbanks and the Sacramento Woodland route, providing a window into the agricultural and transportation patterns of the early twentieth-century Sacramento Valley.
