1952 Map of Fruto NE

About this map

Orland Buttes dominate the northern landscape of this 1952 topographic study of western Glenn County, marking a transition between the Sacramento Valley and the Coast Range foothills. This era of land management is defined by numerous scattered Windmills, water tanks, and reservoirs, illustrating the vital infrastructure required for ranching in this dry drainage basin. The map documents the Michael Ranch, located near a Levee on a central waterway, providing a specific record of agricultural property boundaries and water rights during the mid-century. Cultural markers such as the Cherokee Sch (Abandoned) offer a window into the shifting demographics of rural California, while the complex network of seasonal drainages, including North Fork Walker Creek and Stone French Valley Creek, shows the intricate natural watershed before more modern developments. The survey, conducted under State Engineer A. D. Edmonston, provides an essential record of local geography as it stood during the governorship of Earl Warren.
