1948 Map of Shippee

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Agricultural water management and a dense railroad network define this 1948 landscape in the Sacramento Valley. The map captures an era of intricate irrigation, shown through an extensive system of unnamed canals, a prominent Siphon, and Levee systems designed to manage the seasonal flows of Dry Creek and Cottonwood Creek. These engineering efforts supported the small settlements and junctions that dot the region, including the rail hubs of Ramada, Blavo, and Shippee.
