1952 Map of Yuba City

About this map

The confluence of the Feather River and the Yuba River anchors this 1952 study, showing the twin cities of Yuba City and Marysville before their most modern expansions. The map detail highlights the intricate system of levees protecting the valley floor, alongside several sloughs like Jack Slough and Simmerly Slough. The industrial and social life of the region is evident in the rail lines of the Western Pacific and Southern Pacific, and landmarks such as the Notre Dame Convent and Marysville Cemetery. North of the urban centers, rural stop-points such as Sixmile Station, Sevenmile House, and the District 10 Store reveal the historical settlement pattern along the roads leading toward the Trainer Hills. Later photorevisions from 1973 are captured in purple, showing the growth of Linda and newer residential developments near Ellis Lake.
