1916 Map of Lovdal

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through a landscape defined by complex water management and early twentieth-century transit infrastructure. This area, dominated by the American Basin and the Yolo and Sacramento County boundary, reveals a period when reclamation efforts were actively reshaping the floodplains. Features like the Lovdal Levee and several pumping plants highlight the struggle to reclaim land for agriculture and settlement. The river's path is marked by significant landmarks such as Washington Broderick P O and Sutterville, illustrating the early growth of the region.
