The agricultural and academic landscape of the Sacramento Valley is defined here by the extensive campus of the University of California-Davis and the city of Davis. This area is heavily influenced by a complex network of irrigation and drainage, including the Yolo Central Canal and Willow Slough. The rural-urban interface is stark, transitioning from the structured street grids of the Sacramento City College Davis Center vicinity to the wide-open farm tracts of the northern interior. Transportation hubs like the Yolo County Airport and University Airport serve the region, while the southern boundary is marked by the riparian corridors of Putah Creek and the S Fork Putah Cr. Small settlements such as Merritt and Plainfield provide evidence of early agricultural centers that persisted as the university and city expanded.
