1951 Map of Richardson Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Richardson Springs serves as a focal point for this survey of Butte County, where the transition from high ridgelines to the valley floor is defined by a series of parallel watercourses. The landscape is carved by Rock Creek, Mud Creek, and Sycamore Creek, which flow southwest from the heights of Cohasset Ridge. These drainages converge toward the northern outskirts of Chico, where the grid of the Arroyo Chico grant begins to take shape. The area shows a distinct contrast between the upland terrain and the developing lowlands, marked by the presence of the Chico Municipal Airport.
