1891 Map of Marysville
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The Marysville Buttes dominate the center of this 1891 survey, rising abruptly from the surrounding valley floor and serving as a dramatic landmark for the region. To the east, the Feather River corridor facilitates a dense network of early settlements and transportation routes, including Marysville and Yuba City at the confluence with the Yuba River. This era captures a landscape defined by river-based transit and the expanding influence of the Oregon Division Southern Pacific Railroad. Along the Sacramento River, a series of historic crossings like Princeton Ferry, Moons Ferry, and Dunns Ferry illustrate the critical nature of ferry transport before modern bridging. The map also traces intricate water systems like the C. V. M. Co. Canal and numerous sloughs, reflecting the complex agricultural drainage and irrigation needs of early Sutter and Butte counties.
