1951 Map of Richardson Springs

About this map

Richardson Springs serves as a focal point north of the growing city of Chico, showing the transition from agricultural valley lands to the rising Cohasset Ridge. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Mud Creek, Sycamore Creek, and Rock Creek, which flow southwest toward the Sacramento Valley. The 1969 revisions, indicated in purple, highlight significant urban expansion in the southern portion of the map, particularly residential development along Lindo Channel and around Marigold Sch.
