2018 Map of Esparto

About this map

The Capay Valley opens into the western edge of the Sacramento Valley, where the town of Esparto serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural plains of Yolo County. Water management is a central theme of this landscape, with the Hungry Hollow Canal, Winters Canal, and Townsend Drain redirecting flows across the flatlands while Cache Creek winds through the northern portion. The transition from the valley floor to the western uplands is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Sugarloaf, Canterbury Mtn, and Jackson Bluffs. Genealogists and local researchers can locate the Capay Cem situated between the settlements of Capay and Esparto. The map detail extends to specific named canyons and flats in the western hills, including Parker Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Lindermans Flat, illustrating the complex drainage systems like Lamb Valley Slough that feed toward the central valley.
