1952 Map of Liberty Island

About this map

Liberty Island and the complex waterway network of the Yolo Bypass dominate this mid-century topographic record of the California Delta. The landscape is defined by its agricultural engineering, featuring an intricate system of levees and cuts like East Cut and West Cut that protect fertile lowlands. Small agricultural hubs and ranching outposts such as Belleair, Mound Ranch, and Liberty Farms are scattered across the tracts, connected by the tracks of the Sacramento Northern railroad.
