About this map

The Sacramento River meanders along the western edge of this Glenn County region, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal waterways and low-lying islands. Butte City serves as a primary point of interest near the riverbanks, situated where Hwy 162 crosses the water. The surrounding alluvial plains are crisscrossed by a complex network of drainage features, including Angel Slough, Drumheller Slough, and Campbell Slough, which isolate terrain features like Hanson Island and Hoodoo Island.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as the Butte City Cem and the Marvin Chapel Cem near Afton. The map details a transition of county boundaries where Glenn, Colusa, and Butte counties meet, particularly near Butte Creek and Little Dry Cr. The rural character is further emphasized by the grid of local routes like Adobe Rd and Butler Rd, which connect scattered settlements like Boggs Bend to the larger agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley.
