About this map

The Montezuma Slough and its intricate network of winding waterways dominate this landscape at the northern edge of Grizzly Bay. The 1980 revisions reveal a complex estuarine environment where Grizzly Island and Joice Island are defined by tidal channels like Nurse Slough and Frost Slough. This region serves as a critical junction for water management and wildlife, noted by the presence of the Joice Island State Game Refuge and the State Fish and Game Headquarters.

Evidence of historical transport and strategic utility is scattered across the marshlands. The Sacramento Northern railroad line cuts through the eastern terrain near Montezuma, while the Potrero Hills Storage Annex (USAF) occupies the higher ground of the Potrero Hills. Local history is anchored by small landings such as Beldons Landing and Meins Landing, alongside the Shilo Church, providing a clear record of settlement patterns in this part of Solano County.
