1905 Map of Harrington

About this map

The Southern Pacific (Woodland Line) anchors the eastern agricultural corridor of this 1905 survey, providing a critical transportation link through the Sacramento Valley. The small settlement of Harrington sits directly along the tracks, serving as a focal point for local commerce where the rail line meets the road network. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with several seasonal waterways including Salt Cr, Brush Creek, and Petroleum Creek flowing eastward from the foothills toward the valley floor. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Colusa Co and Yolo Co, crossing through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. In the southeast, Buckeye Creek and Dunnigan Creek meander through the terrain, illustrating the natural irrigation and topography that shaped early 20th-century land use and settlement in this rural California region.
