1952 Map of Yuba City

About this map

The confluence of the Feather River and Yuba River defines this mid-century landscape, where the twin cities of Marysville and Yuba City serve as the region's urban core. In Marysville, the street grid is punctuated by the expansive Ellis Lake and institutional landmarks like the Notre Dame Convent and Marysville Cemetery. The surrounding agricultural lands are interconnected by an intricate network of irrigation ditches and sloughs, including Simmerly Slough and Jack Slough, which bypass rural outposts like the District 10 Store and Sevenmile House. Heavy rail infrastructure from the Western Pacific and Southern Pacific lines highlights the area's role as a transportation hub. To the southeast, the edge of the Beale Military Reservation begins to appear, signaling the military's growing footprint in the Sacramento Valley.
