About this map

The agricultural plains of the Sacramento Valley are defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, such as the South Sutter Ditch and King Slough. This 2012 survey reveals the rural character of western Placer and southern Sutter counties, where small settlements like Pleasant Grove and Sankey sit amidst a grid of section-line roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the water management required for farming, with Pleasant Grove Cr and Curry Cr meandering through the territory.

Transportation and utility routes, including Natomas Rd and Sunset Blvd W, provide the primary structure for the area's development. Aviation history is represented by the Van Dyke Strip Airport in the northwest, serving as a reminder of the local reliance on aerial applications for large-scale agriculture. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the settlement of Riego marks the transition toward the expanding suburbs of the greater Roseville and Sacramento regions.
