About this map

Logandale sits at the heart of an intricate water management landscape in the early 1950s, defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Glenn-Colusa Canal and the Western Canal. The Central Valley terrain is dominated by the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Boundary, where duck ponds and marshy areas contrast with the surrounding agricultural grid. The presence of the Refuge Headquarters and a Lookout Tower signifies the active conservation efforts of the period.

Transportation and education are anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad line and local landmarks like the Liberty School. The map captures the agricultural and recreational character of the region, featuring private sites such as the Peratis Duck Club and rural stop-offs like Riz Siding. The transition between Glenn and Colusa counties is marked by the natural meandering of North Fork Logan Creek and Hunters Creek, which cut through the surveyed sections.
