1950 Map of Foster Island

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a complex path through the valley at the junction of Tehama, Glenn, and Butte counties, defining a landscape of shifting waterways and river-dependent commerce. The presence of Wilson Landing (Site) and McIntosh Ldg (Site) points to an era when river transport was central to the region's economy, even as the Southern Pacific railroad and a grid of rural avenues like Capay Ave took over as primary arteries. Large river features such as Foster Island and Snaden Island are surrounded by a network of secondary channels, including Dicus Slough and Harbean Slough, illustrating the dynamic nature of the floodplain. Local education is anchored by the Capay Sch and McIntosh Sch, serving the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots that fill the flatlands west of the river. To the north, the terrain is marked by smaller drainages like Burch Creek and the quiet waters of Soto Lake.
