About this map

The town of Woodland serves as the focal point of this 1952 topographic study, showing a well-established agricultural hub defined by its street grid and public institutions. Local life is documented through the presence of the Courthouse, City Hall, and several educational landmarks such as Holy Rosary Academy and Dingle Sch. The surrounding landscape is dominated by the winding course of Cache Creek, which dictates the northern geography alongside the Southern Pacific railroad line.

Agricultural infrastructure is evident in the network of ditches, including the Farmers Central Ditch, and the numerous wells dotting the valley floor. To the west, the Yolo Flyers Club and Golf Course and Weggers Airport mark the transition toward the foothills near Monument Hill. Smaller rural settlements and industrial spurs like Sugarfield and Mill Spur provide a detailed look at the rail-dependent economy of Yolo County during the early post-war era.
