About this map

The Sacramento River defines the eastern landscape of this agricultural region, winding through a complex system of sloughs and bends including Beehive Bend and Boggs Bend. The river separates the river-bank settlements from the interior ranch lands, creating distinct landforms like Hanson Island and Packer Island. This 1952 survey highlights a mature water-management network essential for Central Valley farming, featuring the Quint Canal, Main Canal, and Colusa Drain.
