2015 Map of Isleton

About this map

Sacramento River meanders through the heart of the California Delta, defining a landscape of reclaimed land and historical river towns. This 2015 survey reveals the intricate hydrography of the region, where Georgiana Slough and Steamboat Slough branch off to create a complex network of waterways. Small settlements like Isleton and Walnut Grove anchor the riverbanks, serving as focal points for the agricultural tracts on Grand Island and Andrus Island. The engineering of the Delta-Cross Channel and the protection of The Oxbow demonstrate the ongoing management of this vital riparian corridor. Away from the main channels, the map documents smaller features like the Spezia Airport and numerous landings including Howard Landing and Walker Landing, which highlight the historical reliance on water-based transit and local aviation within the sprawling Sacramento Valley.
