1959 Map of Rumsey

About this map

Cache Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the topography of the Cañada de Capay near the small settlement of Rumsey. This late 1950s survey documents a region characterized by specialized water management and early energy exploration, evidenced by the Gaging Sta along the creek and an Oil Test Well located deeper in the hills. The rugged terrain is marked by distinctive names like Blue Cliffs and Nigger Heaven, with the county line between Colusa Co and Yolo Co traversing the northern ridges.
