About this map

The Sacramento River carves a winding path through the Central Valley in this 2015 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its intricate water systems and agricultural roots. The western edge of Chico is visible, showing the expansion of residential streets like Rodeo Ave and Henshaw Ave near the Lindo Channel. The river itself is punctuated by distinct landmarks such as Phelan Island and Golden State Island, while the surrounding terrain is a network of named sloughs including Murphy Slough and Angel Slough.

To the south, the namesake Ord Ferry area and the settlement of Rotavele reflect the historical importance of river crossings and small agricultural hubs. The map detail highlights the complex riparian environment of Indian Fishery and Jenny Lind Bend, illustrating how the waterway has shaped property lines and road placements, such as Ord Ferry Rd and River Rd, over decades of land use in Butte and Glenn counties.
