About this map

The Sacramento River carves a serpentine path through this Northern California landscape, defining a network of islands and bars like Blethen Island and Moone Bar. This 2012 survey illustrates the sophisticated water management systems central to the region's agricultural identity, including the North Main Canal and West North Main Canal. These man-made channels intersect with natural waterways such as Deer Cr and Toomes Cr, creating a complex irrigation lattice that supports the small settlement of Vina.

Local history and recreation are centered around the riverbanks, particularly at Woodson Bridge and the Kopta Slough Boat-In Camp. The map documents the rural road grid, where family-named routes like Doyle Ranch Rd and Gardiner Ferry Rd reflect generations of land use. From the elevation of Squaw Hill to the river crossing at Merrills Landing, the document provides a clear record of Tehama County topography and settlement at the start of the 2010s.
