About this map

Capay Valley and the western edge of the Sacramento Valley meet on this 2015 study, illustrating a landscape defined by complex irrigation and shifting elevation. The town of Esparto serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural district, connected to the smaller settlement of Capay and the residential Country Villa Estates. A network of water management features, including the Winters Canal, Hungry Hollow Canal, and Townsend Drain, crisscrosses the lowlands, revealing the sophisticated infrastructure required to support the local economy.

To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the foothills, marked by prominent features such as Jackson Bluffs, Sugarloaf, and Canterbury Mtn. These uplands are incised by numerous drainages like Lamb Valley Slough and Cottonwood Canyon. For the local historian, the inclusion of the Capay Cemetery and specifically named locations such as Lindermans Flat and Rose Briar Flat provides precise points of interest for tracing family heritage and land use patterns in Yolo County.
