1911 Map of Landlow

About this map

Landlow School serves as a central landmark in this 1911 survey of the Sacramento Valley, situated along the Oroville and Butte City Road. The landscape is defined by its water management and drainage systems, most notably the prominent diagonal course of the Cherokee Canal. To the west, Butte Creek meanders through the lowlands, marking a portion of the Glenn Co Butte Co boundary line. The presence of Aguas Frias in the northwest corner highlights the historical Spanish influence on local place names in this agricultural region. This map illustrates the transition from natural riparian corridors to engineered water systems during a period of significant hydraulic development in Butte County.
