1950 Map of Foster Island

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The winding Sacramento River forms the central spine of this landscape, carving through the fertile valley at the borders of Tehama, Glenn, and Butte Counties. By the mid-century, the area's river-dependent history is reflected in markers like Wilson Landing (Site) and McIntosh Ldg (Site), points that once served as vital links for river traffic. The settlement of Capay and the Capay Sch serve as community anchors amid a network of orchard-lined roads like Clark Ave and Post Ave. The agricultural character of the region is further evidenced by numerous wells and the Southern Pacific railroad corridor in the south. This 1950s survey, updated with 1969 woodland data, shows a complex riparian system where Snaden Island and Foster Island are shaped by shifting currents and sloughs like Dinkey Slough and Harbear Slough.
