About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley unfolds across this mid-century survey, centered on the city of Woodland and the smaller settlement of Yolo. The city's grid is anchored by civic institutions like the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Yolo County General Hospital, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex irrigation network including the Gravel Canal and Magnolia Canal. This infrastructure supports a transition from the Dunnigan Hills in the northwest to the fertile flats near Cache Creek.

Industrial and social life is evident through specialized landmarks such as the Southern Pacific rail lines, the Mill Spur, and the Woodland Watts Airport. Local genealogy is well-served by several clearly marked schools like Laugenour School and Willow Oak School, along with the Holy Rosary Academy and the expansive Woodland Cemetery. Significant land divisions, such as the Rio Jesus Maria grant, remain visible in the property boundaries that still shape the valley floor.
