About this map

Suisun City and Fairfield serve as the focal points for this survey of the northern reaches of the Suisun Marsh, where the inland expansion of the San Francisco Bay system meets the agricultural plains of Solano County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal channels including Suisun Slough and Montezuma Slough, which weave around Grizzly Island and Joice Island. Much of the southern portion is dedicated to the State Game Refuge, illustrating the region's importance for waterfowl and wetland conservation.

Transportation corridors dominate the upper half of the map, with the Southern Pacific and Sacramento Northern railroads facilitating the movement of goods between the Central Valley and the coast. Local landmarks like the Armijo HS, the Crescent Sch, and the Rock Quarry near Thomasson provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Subeet, Chadbourne, and Tolenas during the mid-20th century.
