1895 Map of Marysville

About this map

Marysville Buttes dominate the center of this landscape, rising sharply from the surrounding alluvial plains of the Sacramento Valley. This 1886 survey, published in the 1890s, illustrates a region defined by its complex hydrology and early industrial infrastructure. The Levees of Spring Valley Mining Co indicate the scale of hydraulic mining interventions, while numerous river crossings like Moons Ferry and Dunns Ferry provide essential links between the burgeoning trade centers of Marysville and Yuba City.
