About this map

Meridian and the agricultural lands along the winding Sacramento River define this 2012 survey. The landscape is shaped by the complex hydrology of the Central Valley, where the Colusa By-Pass and Butte Slough manage seasonal water flow. Small settlements such as Sycamore and West Butte are linked by a grid of rural roads like Pass Rd and Steidlmayer Rd, reflecting the area’s deep-rooted farming tradition.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations near landmarks like the Meridian Cem or find recreational and industrial markers such as Wards Boat Landing and the Colusa County Airport. The natural curvature of the river is punctuated by features like Moons Bend and Wood Lake, illustrating how the waterway continues to dictate the local geography even as modern infrastructure like the Mawson Bridge provides passage over the surrounding sloughs.
