2018 Map of Loma Rica

About this map

Loma Rica and the surrounding foothill settlements of Iowa City and Olive Hill occupy a landscape defined by the complex water management systems of the northern Central Valley. The map documents an intricate network of hydraulic features, including Mahle Ditch and Bangor Ditch, which redirect water across the undulating terrain. To the north, the boundary between Butte Co and Yuba Co follows the course of N Honcut Cr and S Honcut Cr, highlighting the importance of these waterways as natural and political dividers. Genealogical interests are served by the inclusion of Honcut Cem and Peoria Cem, while prominent elevations like Swain Hill, Lafferty Peak, and Browns Valley Ridge provide clear landmarks for understanding the area's physical geography. The road network, including historic routes like La Porte Rd, reflects the area's connection to earlier mining and ranching corridors.
