2018 Map of Nicolaus

About this map

The confluence of the Feather River and Bear River defines this portion of the Sacramento Valley in southern Sutter County. The landscape is marked by an intricate network of waterways, including Yankee Slough, Ping Slough, and Raccoon Cr, which navigate the flat alluvial plains between established agricultural settlements. This 2018 survey captures the interface of traditional riverfront hamlets like Nicolaus and East Nicolaus with the modern development of Plumas Lake to the north. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific points of interest such as Fairview Cem and Nicolaus Cem, alongside a precise grid of rural roads including Garden Hwy and Powerline Rd that follow the region's historic property lines and irrigation patterns.
