1954 Map of Butte City

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Sacramento River defines the western edge of this mid-century landscape, where the fertile lowlands of the Sacramento Valley meet the dramatic volcanic rise of the Sutter Buttes. Around the settlement of Butte City, a complex network of sloughs—including Angel Slough, Campbell Slough, and Drumheller Slough—reveals the natural drainage patterns of the floodplain before extensive modern reclamation. The map illustrates a region transitioning from raw river bottom to managed agricultural and conservation lands, most notably the Gray Lodge Waterfowl Management Area. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Union School, Harmony School, and several family cemeteries like Marvin Chapel Cem and North Butte Cemetery. The prevalence of private hunting grounds, such as the Wild Goose Country Club and Sanborn Slough Gun Club, highlights the area's long-standing identity as a premier Pacific Flyway destination.
