1951 Map of Vina

About this map

The Sacramento River anchors this mid-century survey of the northern Sacramento Valley, where water management and agricultural land grants define the landscape. Large historical tracts like Bosquejo, Saucos, and Los Molinos are clearly delineated, reflecting the region's ranching and horticultural roots. The small community of Vina sits east of the river, served by the Southern Pacific railroad and a complex network of irrigation works including the Main Canal and South Main Canal. Significant local drainage is managed through the Rio De Los Molinos and Deer Creek. Rural educational life is represented by the Moon School and Merrill School, while river access points like Merrills Landing and the Ferry Road suggest the historical importance of the water for transport and commerce before the expansion of more modern paved thoroughfares.
