1906 Map of Maxwell
USGS Topo · Published 1906About this map
Larkin's Rancho dominates the eastern landscape of this early 20th-century survey, illustrating the persistence of large land grants in the Sacramento Valley. The agricultural development of the region is clearly visible through the extensive network of the Central Irrigation Canal and the Cheney Slough and Irrigation Company Canal, which divert water to support the burgeoning farms of Colusa and Glenn Counties. Along the Sacramento River, riverboat culture is evidenced by Boggs Landing and Compton Landing, serving as vital transit points before the full dominance of the rails.
