About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its path defined by a series of dramatic loops including Steiner Bend, Boyers Bend, and the tightly coiled Poker Bend. This area along the boundary of Sutter, Colusa, and Yolo counties is characterized by its agricultural reclaimed land and water management systems. The small settlements of Kirkville and Cranmore serve as local anchors within the Sacramento Valley, connected by a network of rural routes like Cranmore Rd and Pelger Rd.

Notable natural and engineered water features define the terrain, from the West Side Canal to several remnant water bodies such as Beaver Lake and Horseshoe Lake. The presence of Tyndall Mound near Collins Eddy provides a specific point of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Sutter Basin. The map captures the complex relationship between the river’s natural course and the expansive drainage and irrigation infrastructure of the Central Valley.
