"the Swamp and Overflow Act of 1861"
Between 1860-1880, hundreds of miles of levees were built, and 88,000 acres of land
was reclaimed from Delta marshlands—much of this work accomplished by Chinese laborers.
“Many of the Chinese laborers from the levee project settled in Walnut Grove, Isleton, Rio Vista,
and Courtland and became farm laborers and sharecroppers.”

Niles Canyon
The Federal Commissioner’s inspection train in Niles Canyon at end of track. The Federal commissioner’s inspection qualified Western Pacific Railroad (of 1862) to receive the government bond for the construction of the first twenty miles of the railroad. The buttressed retaining wall is still in place, and portions are visible today though heavily obscured by vegetation. A portion of the wall was buried when the berm to the left of the train was plowed into the creek circa 1911.
