Description
The California Central Valleys Flood Control Association (CCVFCA) records consist of 17 cubic feet of records and 18 maps
created and collected by the CCVFCA, its predecessor, related committees, and affiliated groups. The records are arranged
into 24 series. The bulk of the records in this collection were created in the 1950s and 1960s. The collection documents

flood control system. The CCVFCA also took an interest in water rights, area of origin issues, water diversion and use, and
water quality issues.
