1952 Map of Knights Landing

About this map

The Sacramento River and Feather River converge at the center of this 1952 study, revealing a complex landscape of water management and river navigation. The town of Knights Landing serves as the primary hub, where the Southern Pacific railroad crosses the water and the local Cem and Knights School anchor the community's early mid-century layout. The map documents an era of significant reclamation, notably within Reclamation District No 1500, which transformed this flood-prone region into productive agricultural land.
