About this map

Merritt Island and the fertile alluvial soils of the Central Valley define this landscape, where the meandering Sacramento River forms the border between Yolo and Sacramento counties. The engineering of the delta is on full display, from the massive Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel on the western edge to the complex network of the Tule Canal, Toe Drain, and Main Canal. These waterways supported the development of agricultural communities like Clarksburg, Central, and Coniston.

Along the river's bends, such as Garcia Bend and Freeport Bend, the transition from suburban Sacramento neighborhoods into the rural levee-side tracts is evident. The map tracks the vital transportation corridors of the era, including Jefferson Blvd and Freeport Blvd, which connect these river towns. Historical landmarks like the Borges Clarksburg Airport and N Stone Lake further anchor the geography of this productive riparian corridor.
