About this map

Mokelumne City and the small settlements of Point Pleasant and Bruceville anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Sacramento and San Joaquin counties. The geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the meandering Cosumnes River and numerous sloughs such as Bear Slough, Grizzly Slough, and Snodgrass Slough. These natural features intersect with the man-made Sacramento Drainage Canal, illustrating the region's long-standing focus on water management for Central Valley farming.

Aviation and transportation infrastructure are prominent, with Franklin Field and the Flying B Ranch Airport situated among a grid of rural roads like Twin Cities Rd and Franklin Blvd. The map captures a moment of modern rural life where traditional land divisions meet specialized facilities. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of these family-named roads and small community hubs provides a clear record of land use and habitation patterns in this fertile corner of California.
