1975 Map of Susanville NE

About this map

Johnstonville and the surrounding agricultural valley of the Susan River are clearly visible in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad. This specialized imagery provides a photographic view of the landscape's development, contrasting the cultivated fields and irrigation patterns of the valley floor with the undeveloped terrain of Antelope Mtn. To the north, the winding course of Willow Creek cuts through the high ground, while the settlement of Leavitt sits positioned near the eastern edge of the survey area. The map's photographic nature captures the exact footprint of farmsteads and rural road networks as they existed in 1975, offering researchers a literal view of the transition from the river bottom to the arid uplands of northeastern California.
