2018 Map of Bird Valley

About this map

Sacramento Valley and Central Valley geography defines this portion of Yolo County, where the eastern slopes of the Capay Hills meet the valley floor. The landscape is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including N Fork Bird Cr and Goodnow Slough, which flow through prominent local depressions such as Hungry Hollow and Bird Valley. This terrain is characterized by numerous named canyons that cut through the higher elevations, including Bob Walker Canyon, Tut Canyon, and Burger Canyon. The presence of Sulphur Spring and peaks like Bold Mtn suggests a varied geological profile typical of the region's western margin. Infrastructure is primarily confined to a grid of local county roads, such as Co HWY e4 and Co RD 85, which navigate the transitional space between the agricultural valley and the uplifted Dunnigan Hills.
