About this map

Rio Jesus Maria land grant territory dominates this 1916 survey, capturing a landscape of complex water management and early Central Valley agriculture. The meandering Sacramento River forms the eastern boundary, marked by the engineering of the Elkhorn Weir and the adjacent Tule Canal, which together illustrate the era's sophisticated flood control efforts. The central portion of the sheet is defined by the Sacramento and Woodland railroad, which served as a vital transit artery connecting the small station stops of Hebron and Elkhorn. To the north, Cache Creek flows into the expansive Cache Creek Sink, while the southern reaches are drained by the winding Willow Slough. Family-named settlements like Langenour and Curtis reflect the localized nature of early twentieth-century rural life in Yolo County before later regional consolidation.
