1910 Map of Wheatland

About this map

The Johnson Rancho land grant dominates this portion of the Sacramento Valley, illustrating the transition from large-scale Mexican-era ranchos to early twentieth-century agriculture. At the center of this landscape is Wheatland, a growing rail town situated along the Southern Pacific R. R. and the Marysville Line. The map reveals a community supported by local education and commerce, marked by the locations of Eagle School and Elizabeth School, as well as the small settlements of Erle and Horstville.
