About this map

The Sacramento River carves a winding path through this 1906 survey of the Sacramento Valley, defining the border between Sacramento and Yolo counties. This river-centric landscape reveals an era of intense reclamation and water management, evidenced by the expansive Yolo Basin and a network of drainage infrastructure like the Oakland Antioch and Eastern Canal and Pacific Drainage Canal. Small riverside settlements including Clarksburg, Freeport, and Lisbon serve as focal points for local commerce and transport.
