About this map

Sacramento River waters define this agricultural landscape in the California Delta, where islands are separated by an intricate network of sloughs and river forks. In the early twentieth century, these waterways were the primary arteries for commerce and travel, connecting riverfront settlements like Walnut Grove and Isleton. The presence of the Golden State Cannery on the edge of Bouldin Island highlights the region's historical reliance on river-based industry and fruit packing.

Navigable channels such as Steamboat Slough and Georgiana Slough wrap around massive land tracts including Grand Island and Staten Island, showing the complex hydraulic engineering of the era. Smaller landings like Walker Landing and the town of Ryde serve as distinct markers of a period when the river was the central highway of the Delta. This survey captures the region's topography before modern levee systems and highway expansion significantly altered the local transit patterns.
