About this map

The delta lowlands of the Central Valley are defined by the convergence of the Mokelumne River and Cosumnes River near the border of Sacramento County and San Joaquin County. This survey reveals an intricate landscape of agricultural tracts and levee-lined waterways, including Snodgrass Slough and Grizzly Slough. Small rural settlements like Point Pleasant, Bruceville, and Mokelumne City serve as historic nodes within a grid of county roads such as Lambert Rd and Twin Cities Rd.

The presence of Franklin Field and the Flying B Ranch Airport highlights the importance of aviation in this flat terrain. Water management is a central theme of the area, visible through the extensive network of irrigation and drainage that supports the valley's farms. Significant natural features like Stone Lake and the marshy expanses of the Bear Slough provide a contrast to the geometric precision of the surrounding ranchlands and orchards.
