About this map

Binghamton and Bunker anchor the northern landscape of this agricultural region in Solano County, where a complex network of sloughs and irrigation channels defines the delta terrain. The Sacramento Northern railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a vital transport link for small settlements like Dozier and Olcott. This mid-century survey captures the area’s dependence on water management, evidenced by the extensive Levee systems and the presence of the Hastings Tract.

Further south, the map identifies the Maine Prairie (Site) and the Maine Prairie School, indicating the geographic shift of community centers over time. Waterways such as Cache Slough, Barker Slough, and Lindsey Slough create a labyrinthine drainage pattern typical of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Industrial and utility infrastructure, including a Telephone Substation and a Gas Well, are scattered throughout the rural landscape, alongside numerous Windmills essential for local water pumping.
