2015 Map of Bird Valley

About this map

Dunnigan Hills and the Capay Hills anchor this section of the western Sacramento Valley in Yolo County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and canyons, including Burger Canyon, Tut Canyon, and Little Salt Canyon. These features illustrate the complex hydrology of the Central Valley edge, where water courses like Mushoak Cr and Goodnow Slough transition from upland breaks into the flat agricultural basin. A series of county roads, such as Co Road 86 and Co Road 85, trace the boundaries between named lowlands like Bird Valley, Oat Valley, and Hungry Hollow. The presence of Sulphur Spring and Bald Mtn highlights the diverse geology found at this junction of hills and valley floor.
