1949 Map of Ord Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a complex path through this corner of the valley, defining the boundary between Butte and Glenn counties. The river's dynamic nature is evident in the numerous oxbows and sloughs like Jenny Lind Bend, Nigger Sam Slough, and Deadmans Reach. These water features create prominent landforms including Phelan Island and Golden State Island. The landscape is further shaped by historical land grants such as Rancho de Farwell, Aguas Frias, and Llano Seco, reflecting the region's deep agricultural roots.
