1952 Map of Rio Vista
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Sacramento River and San Joaquin River hydrology dominates this mid-century survey of the California Delta, illustrating a complex landscape of islands and tracts managed by an extensive levee system. The map captures the region during a period of established river-borne commerce and agriculture, where settlements like Isleton and Rio Vista serve as hubs for the surrounding peat-soil lowlands. The intricate network of waterways, including the Mokelumne River and Georgiana Slough, highlights the reliance on water transport, with numerous named points such as Prisoners Point and Oulton Point marking the junctions of these tidal channels.
