About this map

The Sacramento River carves a complex course through the northern Sacramento Valley on this map, which showcases the historic land grants of Rio De Los Molinos and Bosquejo. The settlement of Vina serves as a local hub, situated where the Southern Pacific tracks run parallel to the irrigation networks of the North Main Canal and South Main Canal. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major drainages, including Deer Creek, Thomes Creek, and China Slough, which feed into the main river channel.

Local education and river crossings provide key points of reference for genealogists, with the Moon School and Merrill School serving the surrounding agricultural community. Significant landmarks such as Woodson Bridge and the Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area mark the transition from the riverbanks to the alluvial plains. To the south, Merrills Landing indicates an early point of river access near the confluence of Jewett Creek and the Sacramento.
