About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley is clearly defined on this early 20th-century survey, centered on the small settlements of Logandale and Norman. The region's development is anchored by the Southern Pacific Woodland Line, which runs straight through the territory, providing a critical link for transporting local produce. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management systems essential to the area, most notably the prominent Central Irrigation Canal and its associated network of ditches.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the winding paths of Logan Creek and the North Fork Logan Creek to the seasonal pools and marshes scattered throughout the valley floor. Pelican Mound stands as a rare topographical variation in an otherwise flat expanse. The southern portion of the sheet marks the Glenn Co Colusa Co boundary, illustrating the political division within this productive ranching and farming district.
