1910 Map of Sheridan

About this map

Johnson Rancho dominates the northern landscape of this 1908 survey, where the historic land grant is bisected by the Bear River at the junction of Sutter and Yuba counties. The settlement of Sheridan serves as a vital rail point along the S. P. R. R. (Marysville Line), which cuts through the northeastern corner of the map. This area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Yankee Slough and Coon Creek, which drain the low-lying agricultural plains. The presence of the Fairview School at a central crossroads highlights the rural community structure of early 20th-century Placer County. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by drainage features like Markham Ravine and Bunkham Ravine, illustrating the natural irrigation and runoff patterns that shaped early California ranching and settlement long before modern development.
