1943 Map of Lodoga

About this map

Lodoga and the surrounding foothills of the Inner Coast Ranges are captured here during the early 1940s, a landscape defined by the transition from steep ridges to the western edge of the Sacramento Valley. The settlement of Lodoga sits near the East Fork Reservoir, while to the east, the map traces the hydraulic development of the region through the Central Irrigation Canal. This era shows a rural infrastructure of windmills and small schoolhouses like Black Mtn Sch that served isolated ranching families.
