About this map

The Sacramento River and its intricate system of bypasses and canals define this urban and industrial landscape just after the turn of the 21st century. The map highlights the complex water management required for the region, showing the Sacramento Weir, Sacramento Bypass, and the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel leading to the Port of Sacramento. These engineered waterways sit alongside established neighborhoods like West Sacramento and historic districts in Sacramento.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the cluster of burial grounds including City Cem, Masonic Lawn Cem, and Odd Fellows Lawn Cem. Transportation history is evident in the numerous river crossings, from the iconic Tower Bridge to the Pioneer Memorial Bridge, which link the capital city to the western residential developments and industrial hubs. Cultural landmarks such as the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town are also clearly marked.
