Abstract
The Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys were visited, in March, 1907, by one of the most destructive floods that have ever occurred in California, the resulting financial loss being unquestionably greater than that from any other flood of which there is record. The greatest damage was done in the valleys of the trunk streams, especially Sacramento Valley. The Lower Sacramento River and its two largest tributaries, Feather and American Rivers, reached the highest stages ever recorded, and record stages were reached by other tributaries of the Sacramento and by the San Joaquin and its tributaries.
