2018 Map of Dozier

About this map

Binghamton and the crossroads of Dozier anchor this section of the Sacramento Valley, where the agricultural landscape of Solano County meets the complex hydrology of the delta. The terrain is defined by a intricate system of irrigation and natural drainage, including Sweany Creek, Alamo Cr, and the slow-moving waters of Barker Slough. To the east, the settlement of Maine Prairie sits near the confluence of Maine Prairie Slough and Cache Slough, marking an area historically vital for water-based transport. A network of named local roads like Pedrick Rd and Maine Prairie Rd connects these rural hubs, while artificial waterways such as Calhoun Cut and Hastings Cut demonstrate the engineered nature of the contemporary Central Valley landscape. This survey documents the persistent grid of the Public Land Survey System, overlaid upon a basin where sloughs and creeks still dictate the placement of ranches and small communities.
