Sacramento River meanders through the heart of the Sacramento Valley, shaping a complex network of islands and sloughs along the borders of Tehama, Butte, and Glenn Counties. This fluvial landscape is defined by large riverine features such as Foster Island, Wilson Island, and the combined Emery and Mitchell Island. The map documents the shifting watercourses of the era, from the sharp curves of Jackstaff Bend to the steady flow of the Glenn-Colusa Canal in the south.
