The Sacramento River defines the eastern boundary of this agricultural landscape at the turn of the century, winding past Boggs Landing and Compton Landing. The river's influence is evident in the complex network of sloughs and bends, such as Packer Slough and Beehive Bend, which contrast with the straight engineered lines of the Central Irrigation Canal further west. In the heart of the valley, the Southern Pacific Railroad connects a string of settlements including Maxwell, Delevan, Norman, and Logandale, reflecting the era's reliance on rail for transporting local produce.
