The California Debris Commission, created in 1893, had been charged with regulating hydraulic mining, improving river navigation and affording relief in flood times. The report also contains a project and estimate of cost for relief from the floods in the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Valleys. It is an interesting and detailed treatment of an ever present threat. The list of maps in this report are as follows:
