1916 Map of Zamora

About this map

Zamora and its surrounding agricultural landscape appear here during the early twentieth century, defined by a sharp transition between the dissected hills and the flatlands of the Colusa Basin. The Southern Pacific railroad’s (Woodland Line) cuts diagonally across the eastern half of the map, serving as the primary infrastructure for the small rail stops of Bretona and Wycoff. This corridor provided essential transport for the region's farms, linking the rural grain and fruit production areas to larger markets.
