2012 Map of Loma Rica

About this map

Loma Rica and the surrounding foothill settlements of Olive Hill and Sunnyslope define this landscape during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a complex network of irrigation and water management essential to the region's agricultural history, featuring the Bangor Ditch, Mahle Ditch, and Olive Hill Ditch. These waterways weave through a terrain marked by prominent elevations such as Lafferty Peak, Johnson Peak, and Paynes Peak to the east, while Browns Valley Ridge anchors the southern portion of the sheet. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies the Fruitland Union School and provides precise locations for both the Honcut Cem and Peoria Cem. The drainage patterns of S Honcut Cr and Prairie Cr further characterize this portion of Yuba County, showing how historical land use follows the natural ravines and ridges.
