2015 Map of Meridian

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a sinuous path through this segment of the Sacramento Valley, defining the boundary between Colusa and Sutter counties. The settlement of Meridian sits prominently along the river's eastern bend, supported by a network of rural roads like N Meridian Rd and Central St. To the east, the dramatic rising slopes of the Sutter Buttes contrast sharply with the surrounding flat agricultural basin. This landscape is a complex hydraulic environment where Butte Creek and Butte Slough navigate the lowlands, while landmarks such as Moons Bend and Wood Lake indicate the river's historical shifts. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of the Meridian Cemetery and small communities like Sycamore and West Butte that anchor this corner of the Central Valley.
