1952 Map of Logandale

About this map

The Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Boundary defines the eastern landscape of this Sacramento Valley region, where extensive Duck Ponds and water management systems reflect the area's significance for migratory waterfowl. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary north-south spine, passing through the small settlements of Logandale and Norman, as well as the industrial Riz Siding. This 1952 survey, which includes updates from 1973, reveals a highly engineered agricultural landscape where the Glenn-Colusa Canal and Provident Western Canal divert water across the flats once dominated by the North Fork Logan Creek. Local history is anchored by the Liberty School and the Minor Farm, while the border between Glenn Co and Colusa Co bisects the southern reaches of the map.
