About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through a complex network of riparian features and agricultural lands along the border of Butte and Glenn Counties. This area is characterized by an intricate system of sloughs and bends, including Jenny Lind Bend and the oxbow-like Shannon Slough, which highlight the river's shifting path over time. Landmarks such as Phelan Island and Golden State Island sit within the river's braided channel, while Deadmans Reach marks a significant stretch of the waterway near the southern boundary.

Transportation and utility are represented by the namesake Ord Ferry crossing and the presence of Johnsen Airport to the east. The landscape is dotted with specialized sites like the Indian Fishery and Colyear Springs, reflecting local land use. Smaller waterways like Big Chico Cr and Angel Slough drain into the main river channel, supporting a rural environment defined by named ranch roads and trails such as the Capay Unit Trail.
