2012 Map of Rackerby

About this map

Rackerby and Brownsville anchor this 2012 study of the Yuba County foothills, an area defined by its deep ravines and historic ranching properties. The map documents a landscape where agricultural heritage meets modern aviation at the Brownsville Aero Pines Airport. For those tracing local family history, the Upham Cem remains a significant landmark near the center of the sheet, while family-named locales like Rose Ranch, Willow Glen Ranch, and Finley Ranch show the persistent footprint of large landholdings in northern California. Drainage patterns are intricate, with S Honcut Cr and its tributaries like Willow Glen Cr carving through the terrain toward Lake Mildred. The southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the settlement at Frenchtown, situated along Dry Cr, providing a clear view of the area's geography and established road networks.
