2012 Map of Esparto

About this map

Esparto serves as a primary settlement node in this 2012 survey, situated where the valley floor begins its ascent into the foothill terrain of Yolo County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Cache Cr and a series of sloughs, including Lamb Valley Slough and Cottonwood Slough, which weave through the agricultural flats and low-lying valleys. The transition from the flat agricultural lands of the Capay Valley to the more varied topography of Canterbury Mountain and Sugarloaf reveals a complex network of canyons and flats, such as Pipeline Canyon and Lindermans Flat. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for the Capay Cem and various named points of interest like Horsehead Gate and Turkey Camp. The grid of county roads, such as Co RD 87 and Co RD 23, illustrates the modern land use and connectivity between the scattered ranches and the central hubs of Capay and Esparto.
