About this map

Sacramento Valley farmland and water management systems define this portion of the American Basin along the Sutter and Placer County line. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads and irrigation features, including the S Sutter Ditch and King Slough, which support the intensive agriculture of the region. The small community of Pleasant Grove sits at the intersection of Pleasant Grove Road and Howsley Road, serving as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads.

Natural drainage persists despite the engineered landscape, with the meandering courses of Pleasant Grove Creek and Curry Creek cutting across the survey area. To the south, the settlements of Sankey and Riego mark historical transit points near Steelhead Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the transition between Sutter's agricultural lowlands and the western edge of Placer County, including the distinct Van Dyke Strip near the northern boundary.
