It adjoins the Counties of-Sutter, Placer, Nevada, Sierra, Butte andPlumas. The Feather river traverses most ofthe western boundary tortuously forabout twenty-five miles across the richbottom lands. It is the second largestriver in the Sacramento Valley, and isnavigable as far up as Marysville. Bear river, as well as the Feather,rises in the upper Sierras. It passesalong the southern boundary of thecounty and empties into the Feather. As well the Yuba river and its tribu-taries has its sources in the upper Sier-ras, passes through th-e county aboutmidway and discharges into the Featherat the City of Marysville. Besides these there are several creeksof importance. Geological indications prove that in re-. YUBA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. s mote ages the entire .Sacramento Valleyand a section of the foothills to thealtitude of several hundred feet wereportions of the bed of a vast inland seaof lake, and that into this lake the wash-ings of the surrounding mountains werepoured to form the present soils, whichare made up of all the fertile mineraland vegetable •elements in almost inex-haustable quantities. Many analyzeshave been made on these soils from thealluvial valleys, the upper lands and thefoothills; these analyzes have demon-strated that the soils of the SacramentoValley are unexcelled for fertility. Along the borders of the rivers andcreeks is a belt of sediment land, partlya clayey, sandy loam, of great depth andunexcelled richness, having a width ofa mile or more. This deposit has beenformed by the overflowing of streamsfor countless ages, and has produced asoil as fertile as that of the Valley of theNile. Thence to the east is
