About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through this agricultural corridor, defining the boundary between Sutter, Colusa, and Yolo counties. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of historical river access points, including Millers Landing, Boyers Landing, and Poffenbergers Landing, which once served as vital links for the local farm-to-market economy. Levees and canals like the West Side Canal dominate the terrain, reflecting the intensive water management required for the surrounding fields.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Southern Pacific railroad line running through the eastern portion of the map near Everglade. Small settlements and landmarks such as Cranmore and Kirkville provide localized points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to these riverfront communities. Notable oxbows and water bodies like Pratt Lake and the Collins Eddy Cutoff illustrate the river's historical shifts and its central role in the regional geography.
