1952 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

Sacramento River flows through the heart of Tehama County, anchoring a landscape of extensive agricultural grants and railroad-aligned settlements. In the early 1950s, the river corridor was defined by significant water management and transport infrastructure, including Blackberry Island and Todd Island, alongside the vital Southern Pacific rail line. The map illustrates the historical land divisions of the La Barranca Colorada, Las Flores, and Saucos grants, reflecting the area's deep-rooted ranching and farming heritage.
