About this map

The western Sacramento Valley unfolds as a sophisticated network of early 20th-century irrigation and transport in this 1905 survey. Irrigation infrastructure dominates the landscape of Cañada De Capay, where the Old Capay Canal, Adams Canal, and Moore Canal divert water from Cache Creek near the Moore Dam. This intricate system reflects the transition of Yolo County into a powerhouse of commercial agriculture, facilitated by the Southern Pacific (Clear Lake Branch) railroad. The rail line serves as the lifeblood for settlements like Madison and Citrona, providing the necessary link to move produce from the fertile valley floor to distant markets. Further south, the landscape is defined by natural drainage patterns like South Fork Willow Creek and Cottonwood Slough, which intersect the rigid survey lines of the Mt Diablo Meridian.
