2018 Map of Grays Bend

About this map

Woodland anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the eastern reach of the city meets the intensive agricultural infrastructure of the Central Valley. The map highlights a complex hydraulic network designed to manage the seasonal waters of the Sacramento Valley, including the massive Cache Creek Settling Basin and the Knights Landing Ridge Cut. These engineering works, along with the Sacramento River and the Tule Canal, define the region's relationship with water and land use. Small settlements such as King Farms, Conaway, and Fremont appear as nodes within a grid of county roads and levees. Near the southern edge of the city, the campus of Woodland Community College stands as a local landmark, while the meandering paths of Willow Slough and Cache Creek illustrate the natural drainage patterns that the surrounding drainage systems were built to control.
