About this map

The Sacramento River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a winding path through the Sacramento Valley near the small settlement of Butte City. The map reveals a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways, including Angel Slough, Campbell Slough, and Drumheller Slough, which weave between agricultural plots and managed lands. These features, along with names like Hanson Island and Hoodoo Island, illustrate the flood-prone nature of this river-driven economy.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Butte City Cem and Marvin Chapel Cem, providing essential keys for family research in the area. Further south, the community of Afton and the riparian curve of Boggs Bend show the historical footprints of habitation along the water. The intricate grid of rural roads, such as Co Rd XX and Levee Rd, highlights the infrastructure necessary to navigate this marshy, fertile territory.
