1952 Map of Gridley

About this map

Dredge tailings along the Feather River reveal the industrial footprint of post-gold rush gravel operations in this mid-century survey of the Sacramento Valley. The agricultural landscape is meticulously mapped through an extensive network of irrigation canals, including the Cherokee Canal and Butte County Canal, which support orchards and fields around the hubs of Gridley and Live Oak. This period shows a transition from rural ranching to more intensive cultivation, anchored by facilities like the Farm Labor Supply Center and the Manzanita Fire Sta.
