1952 Map of West of Biggs

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Agricultural development in the Sacramento Valley defines this landscape, where a dense network of irrigation laterals and drainage canals supports the rural economy between the Glenn and Butte county line. The Cherokee Canal cuts a prominent diagonal across the southern half of the sheet, managed by a system of levees designed to control the flow of water through this low-lying territory. Notable local holdings such as the Schohr Ranch are situated near these waterworks, reflecting the importance of large-scale ranching and farming operations in the mid-20th century.
