1944 Map of Tuscan Buttes

About this map

Site of Ft Reading and the nearby Ruins of Reading Adobe anchor this mid-century look at the Northern Sacramento Valley, documenting the historical remnants of early California frontier life. The Sacramento River dominates the landscape, twisting past landmarks such as Bloody Island and Goat Island while supporting vital infrastructure like Jellys Fy and the Bend Bridge. This period shows a transition from traditional ranching to industrial water management, evidenced by the Coleman Power House and the extensive network of the Anderson Ditch.
