1947 Map of Loma Rica
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Loma Rica and the surrounding foothills of the Sierra Nevada are defined by a complex network of agricultural water systems including Mahle Ditch, Loma Ditch, and the Spring Valley Ditch. This 1947 topographic record, updated with 1969 aerial revisions, reveals the intersection of early mining and established rural education. Resource extraction is evident at the Sweet Vengeance Mine and Smethurst Mine on the southern slopes of Browns Valley Ridge, while local community life is anchored by Fruitland Union Sch and Kings Sch. The landscape is etched with historical settlements like Iowa City and Sunnyside, alongside family-named peaks such as Paynes Peak and Johnson Peak. The map captures the transition from high-elevation drainage toward the lowlands of Jack Slough, preserving the locations of the Honcut Cem and Peoria Cem for genealogical research.
