Land Use Maps of California

Date: April 22-May 10, 2019

California is the third largest state in the union with more than half of its land dedicated to public use. Within California one can travel through a plethora of biomes; from the hot barren Mojave desert, to the open farm land of the Central Valley, to thick lush redwood forests of the Coastal Range. Along the way one could see a vast array of plants and animals preserved by the dedication of Public and Wilderness lands.

Our map collection is showcasing maps that display where we as Californians find land important to protect, and what we do with the land we choose to develop.  At the Map Collection room you will be able to find broad information on the preservation of California as a whole, to specific information on what crops are grown in the Davis region. When showing public lands, these maps often come with a description of what plant and animal life can be found in the area and how the ecology thrives. When showing urban industrial areas, these maps will depict how a city like Los Angeles has expanded over time and how they deal with the natural environment around them.

Come to the Map Collection and look for this sign:
