1944 Map of Flournoy

About this map

Thomes Creek and Stony Creek dominate this 1940s landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the western Sacramento Valley foothills. The transition from the flatlands of the valley into the rising elevations of Table Mtn is marked by numerous seasonal drainages such as Squaw Hollow Creek and Burch Creek. This era shows the critical role of water management in the region, centered on the Diversion Dam and a developing Canal system designed to redirect flows for local use.
