About this map

Gridley and Live Oak anchor this 2015 study of the agricultural corridor between the Feather River and the northern reaches of the Sutter Buttes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage features essential to the Sacramento Valley economy, including the Sutter Butte Canal, Live Oak Canal, and the Sunset Avenue Lateral. These man-made waterways interlace with natural features like Morrison Slough and the Snake River, creating a grid-heavy rural environment where small settlements like Fagan and East Gridley sit alongside critical infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Live Oak Cemetery and Bowles Airport, while the boundary between Butte and Sutter counties provides a clear geographic frame for the region's development. The map also highlights the southern outskirts of Gridley with named residential streets like Sycamore St and Magnolia St, contrasting with the more industrial Treatment Plant in the south near Sunset.
