About this map

Aguas Frias Creek meanders along the county boundary between Butte and Glenn, defining the western edge of this agricultural landscape in the early 1950s. The region is characterized by an extensive network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, essential for the local ranching and farming operations. Major water control features like the Cherokee Canal, Browning Lateral, and Green Lateral crisscross the terrain, supporting established properties such as Maxwell Ranch and Schohr Ranch. This network of canals and ditches reveals the intensive management of water required to sustain production in the Sacramento Valley. Transportation is anchored by the Butte City Highway and Biggs Princeton Road, while smaller rural thoroughfares like Goodspeed Road and Watt Road provide access to interior parcels. The presence of a Sewage Disposal facility and several pump houses further indicates the developed nature of this rural workspace.
