1949 Map of Loma Rica
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Loma Rica and its surrounding foothills are defined by a complex network of water management and mining history at the close of the 1940s. Irrigation systems such as the Mahle Ditch and Browns Valley Ditch illustrate the region's agricultural dependency on channeled water, while the Sweet Vengeance Mine and the nearby Smethurst Mine (Abandoned) point to the area's geological extraction roots. Educational centers like Fruitland Union Sch and Kings Sch serve as focal points for rural communities like Sunnyslope and Iowa City. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Browns Valley Ridge down toward the drainages of North Honcut Creek and South Honcut Creek, where early cemeteries like Honcut Cem mark the heritage of Yuba and Butte counties.
