2015 Map of Butte City

About this map

The Sacramento River and its complex network of sloughs dominate this 2015 study of the Sacramento Valley, where the water-shaped landscape of Glenn and Colusa counties is meticulously documented. The settlement of Butte City serves as a primary waypoint along Highway 162, while the small community of Afton sits further south along the county border. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying both the Butte City Cemetery and the Marvin Chapel Cemetery. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally detailed, tracing the winding paths of Angel Slough, Drumheller Slough, and Campbell Slough through the valley floor. Notable landforms created by these shifting waterways include Hanson Island in the river and Hoodoo Island further east near Butte Creek. The map provides a clear record of the rural road system, including Levee Rd and various numbered county routes that stitch together these agricultural lands.
