2018 Map of Eldorado Bend

About this map

Eldorado Bend defines a sharp meander of the Sacramento River on this 2018 survey, where the river serves as the boundary between Sutter and Yolo counties. The landscape is a study in agricultural water management, dominated by the massive Colusa Basin Drainage Canal cutting through the Sacramento Valley. In the lower portion of the map, the small settlement of Dufour sits along Co RD 99w, west of the rising terrain of the Dunnigan Hills. Genealogists and local historians will find the Marys Cem located centrally along Co RD 15, while the Zamora Airport provides a modern landmark amidst the expansive fields of the Central Valley. The complex river morphology is further highlighted by named features like State Ranch Bend and Missouri Bend, illustrating the historic flow patterns within the Sutter Basin.
