2021 Map of Loma Rica

About this map

Loma Rica and the surrounding foothill settlements of Sunnyslope, Iowa City, and Olive Hill sit at the edge of the Sacramento Valley in this detailed look at Yuba County's interior landscape. The map reveals an intricate network of water management, defined by the Mahle Ditch, Bangor Ditch, and Jack Slough, which highlight the region's reliance on irrigation for its agricultural and ranching economy. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Central Valley to the more prominent elevations of Browns Valley Ridge and a series of peaks including Lafferty Peak, Johnson Peak, and Paynes Peak. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Honcut Cem near the northern boundary and the Peoria Cem further south. The presence of numerous named ravines and small watercourses like Prairie Cr and Little Dry Cr illustrates the complex drainage systems feeding into the S Honcut Cr and N Honcut Cr, documenting the modern rural character of these long-established California communities.
