About this map

Marysville Buttes dominate the southern portion of this landscape, their dramatic contours sharply contrasting with the flat agricultural plains of the Sacramento Valley to the north. The small community of Pennington sits at the northern foot of these heights, serving as a focal point near the Butte Co Sutter Co boundary. The northern reaches of the sheet are defined by long, straight sections of the Cherokee Canal, reflecting the intensive early 20th-century water management required for the region's expanding ranching and farming operations. Outside of the primary settlement, the presence of the Butte School indicates a dispersed rural population during this era, supported by a network of sectional roads and survey lines established by the State of California and federal surveyors.
