1951 Map of Red Bluff East

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a dominant path through this mid-century landscape, framing the growth of Red Bluff as it transitions from its historic riverfront roots into a modern regional hub. This 1951 survey, with later photogrammetric updates, captures the city’s expansion east of the Southern Pacific tracks, showing established local landmarks like the Oak Hill Cem and Bidwell Jr HS. The map provides a unique look at the early infrastructure of the Red Bluff Diversion Dam and the Red Bluff Municipal Airport, which anchor the southern and western edges of the city. Beyond the urban center, the land is defined by Mexican-era land grants such as El Primer Canon O Rio De Los Berrendos and La Barranca Colorada. These large ranching tracts are intersected by a network of seasonal waterways including Salt Creek and Antelope Creek, while the William B Ide Adobe State Historical Mon preserves a piece of the region's pioneer heritage along the river's edge.
