About this map

Marysville and Yuba City sit at the strategic confluence of the Feather River and Yuba River during this mid-century period. The map documents a dense urban core in Marysville, characterized by civic landmarks like the Court House, City Hall, and Notre Dame Convent, alongside the central Ellis Lake. Significant post-war expansion is visible in the suburban growth of Linda to the south and purple-shaded revisions reflecting urban development through the early 1970s.

Agricultural and industrial transit patterns are clearly defined by the three major rail lines—the Western Pacific, Southern Pacific, and Sacramento Northern—which intersect at Binney Junc. Further north, the landscape transitions into large land grants, noted by the Grant Boundary, and small outlying outposts such as Sixmile Station, Tambo, and the District 10 Store, illustrating the transition from the city centers to the productive rural valley floor.
