1950 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville and Taylorsville anchor the broad agricultural and ranching landscape of Indian Valley at the midpoint of the twentieth century. This survey documents a complex network of resource extraction and local heritage, ranging from the Engel Mine in the north to the Taylorsville Rancheria and Greenville Rancheria. The valley floor is crisscrossed by irrigation ditches and the Western Pacific railroad, which follows the winding course of Indian Creek through the mountains.
