Synopsis

Innovative water development and land planning in Butte County, California, explored through early engineering, finance, and organization plans.


The book examines a proposed irrigation and land-sale enterprise that aims to bring water from the West Branch of the Feather River and the Butte Creeks to rolling foothill lands and plains near Chico and Oroville. It outlines geographic scope, water supply routes, and a first-class system of delivery works, along with the business model that would attract investors and buyers.



  • How the project identifies three irrigable areas, including the Paradise Plateau foothills and adjacent plains.

  • Details on the water-supply sources, major canyons, and historical evidence of early diversions and rights.

  • Plans for high‑quality works, management structure, and the financial organization needed to deliver water and sell lands.

  • Projected returns, land values, and the strategic approach to partnerships with irrigation districts and land buyers.


Ideal for readers of historical infrastructure planning, public works, and the economics of early California irrigation projects.
