2012 Map of Grays Bend

About this map

Agricultural lands and water management systems dominate this region east of Woodland in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the massive Cache Creek Settling Basin and the Knights Landing Ridge Cut, engineered features designed to manage heavy runoff and sediment before it reaches the Sacramento River. To the north, Grays Bend marks a distinctive curve in the river channel near the edge of the Cache Creek Sink, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yolo Basin.
