1951 Map of Richardson Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Richardson Springs sits at the edge of the foothills where the volcanic slopes of Cohasset Ridge meet the northern Sacramento Valley. This map, based on 1951 surveys with 1969 urban updates, reveals the northward expansion of Chico as it began to encompass old agricultural lands and orchards. The transition from the rugged drainage of Iron Canyon Creek and Mud Creek to the organized street grids of the valley floor is punctuated by the presence of the Chico Municipal Airport and sprawling parklands.
