About this map

The American Basin serves as the focal point of this 1951 study, illustrating the complex irrigation and drainage network vital to Sacramento Valley agriculture. The meandering Sacramento River defines the landscape, flanked by the Garden Highway and protected by an extensive levee system. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is visible in the Sacramento Northern rail line and the cluster of pumping stations, including the Prichard Lake Pumping Plant and the Central Pumping Plant, which managed water levels for local growers.
