1951 Map of Red Bluff West

About this map

Red Bluff serves as the focal point of this 1951 survey, capturing the western expansion of the town and its outlying rural infrastructure before the heavy urbanization of later decades. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of North Fork Dibble Creek, South Fork Dibble Creek, and Reeds Creek, which carve through the terrain toward the Sacramento River valley. This map highlights the distribution of mid-century community life through landmarks like Lincoln Sch, Brickyard Sch, and Reeds Creek Sch, alongside the County Hospital and St Marys Cem. The inclusion of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Red Bluff Municipal Airport illustrates the transportation networks supporting Tehama County's agricultural and regional economy. Revision data from 1969, shown in purple, reveals the early stages of suburban growth and new road developments like Begum Road and Red Bank Road intersecting the older cattle and farming lands.
