About this map

Univ Of Calif dominates the southwestern quadrant of this study, reflecting the academic and agricultural character of the region as it transitioned into the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the complex water management systems of the Yolo By-Pass and the Willow Slough By-Pass, designed to handle seasonal inundation. The expansion of Davis is evident through numerous newly charted schools like North Davis Sch and Emerson Jr High Sch, alongside the developing suburb of El Macero and its accompanying Golf Course.

Transportation infrastructure centers on the Southern Pacific railroad and the Yolo Causeway, which connects the area toward the state capitol. Local landmarks like the State Nursery Div Of Forestry and a Drive-in Theater near Webster capture the mid-century social and industrial footprint of Yolo County. The southern portion follows the meandering path of Putah Creek and the South Fork, marking the boundary between Yolo and Solano counties.
