2021 Map of Madison
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The Madison area in the Sacramento Valley is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and natural drainage systems that support its agricultural character. This survey reveals a landscape where natural watercourses like Cache Creek and Cottonwood Slough meet engineered waterways including the W Canal, Alder Canal, and Winters Canal. The terrain transitions from the level floor of the Central Valley into the rising elevations of the Dunnigan Hills to the north and the Monument Hills to the east. Historically centered on the settlement of Madison and the nearby Citrona rail siding, the region maintains its rural roots through sites like the Cottonwood Cem. The map illustrates how local topography, such as the Hungry Hollow depression, has historically dictated the placement of roads and the routing of sloughs across the Yolo County plains.
