About this map

The city of Woodland serves as the focal point of this 1952 topographic study, showing a concentrated grid of streets and key civic institutions including the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Yolo County General Hospital. Education and religious life are well-represented by the Holy Rosary Academy, St Paul Sch, and High Sch. To the north, the settlement of Yolo sits along the winding path of Cache Creek, highlighting the importance of water management in this agricultural landscape.

An intricate network of irrigation channels, such as the Magnolia Canal and Farmers Central Ditch, crisscrosses the Rio Jesus Maria Grant. This infrastructure supported a rural economy deeply tied to the Southern Pacific railroad lines that pass through Sugarfield and Mill Spur. Landmarks like the Yolo Fliers Club and Golf Course and Weggers Airport reflect the mid-century development of leisure and local transport in Yolo County.
