2021 Map of Bruceville

About this map

Franklin and Point Pleasant anchor this portion of the Sacramento Valley, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and agricultural grids. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the confluence of the Mokelumne River and Cosumnes River, a region dense with complex hydrology including Snodgrass Slough, Grizzly Slough, and Bear Slough. This area at the border of Sacramento and San Joaquin counties reflects a highly managed floodplain, with numerous levees such as Levee Rd protecting the fertile lowlands. Local aviation is represented by Franklin Field and the Flying B Ranch Airport, while the settlement of Bruceville serves as a central landmark within this rural expanse. The map traces the transition from the open waters of Stone Lake in the northwest to the riparian corridors that weave through the Central Valley.
