About this map

The Feather River and Sacramento River converge in this low-lying landscape, where the Sutter By-Pass and a series of levees define the flood-prone agricultural terrain. This 1952 survey details a region shaped by water management and river traffic, highlighting the American Basin and the early riverboat hubs at Fremont Landing and Vernon Landing. The map illustrates the heavy reliance on irrigation and drainage, visible through the extensive network of the Main Canal and Cross Canal.

Away from the riverbanks, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors small rural settlements like Catlett and the agricultural community surrounding Pleasant Grove Station. Local family history and social infrastructure are centered at the Pleasant Grove Sch and Pleasant Grove Cemetery. Distinctive topographical markers like Barney Mound stand out against the engineered flats of the Rio Jesus Maria land grant.
