About this map

Davis serves as the primary hub of this 1915 survey, situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific (Woodland Line) and the Southern Pacific (Ogden Line). The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the meandering course of Putah Creek and the South Fork Putah Creek form a significant portion of the Yolo Co Solano Co boundary. To the east, the vast and low-lying Yolo Basin stretches across the map, reflecting the agricultural and flood-prone character of the Sacramento Valley before modern water management. Small rail stops and settlements like Swingle, Webster, and Briggston dot the lines, illustrating the reliance on the railroad for transporting goods from the surrounding fields. The inclusion of features like Willow Slough and Dry Slough further emphasizes the intricate hydrology that shaped early California settlement patterns in this region.
