About this map

The Nelson and Esquon settlements serve as the primary anchors for this 1910 survey of the California Central Valley. Dominated by a highly organized grid of irrigation and land divisions, the landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure of the Southern Pacific RR (Marysville Line) and the Northern Electric RR, which parallel the natural drainage of Butte Creek. The map documents the intricate water management of the era, from the winding path of Durham Slough to the seasonal courses of Ash Creek and Roberts Creek.
