About this map

Zamora stands as a central railway hub on this 1916 survey, situated along the Southern Pacific tracks in a landscape defined by the transition from the Sacramento Valley floor to the surrounding uplands. The Woodland Line road and the Mt Diablo Meridian provide a rigid geometric grid that contrasts with the sinuous drainage patterns of Bird Creek and Oat Creek. These watercourses carve through the terrain, emerging from Oat Valley to meet the wide, flat expanse of the Colusa Basin. Smaller rail stops and settlements like Wycoff and Bretona illustrate the early twentieth-century reliance on the railroad for agricultural transport. A notable survey detail is the western portion of the sheet, which indicates that more detailed elevation data was deferred to a separate sheet, leaving a portion of the hilly terrain above Cottonwood Spring simplified compared to the intricately contoured central ridges.
