1967 Map of Verona

About this map

The Sacramento River and Feather River converge at the historic Verona settlement, defining a landscape dominated by complex water management and the agricultural expanse of the American Basin. This 1967 survey documents the critical infrastructure of the era, from the massive Sutter Bypass and Cross Canal to the Gaging Station and various pumping facilities. The region's transport history is visible in the route of the Western Pacific and the Sutter Basin Railroad, supporting local stops like Catlett and Pleasant Grove. Genealogists and local historians can locate established community centers such as the Pleasant Grove Sch and Pleasant Grove Cem, alongside river-based landmarks like Joes Landing and the Fremont Landing (Site). The map illustrates a transitional period where traditional river landings and rail sidings served a territory increasingly connected by the Garden Highway and the extensive canal network.
