About this map

The Sacramento River and American River confluence anchors this 1949 topographic study, revealing the complex water management infrastructure defining the Yolo Basin. The massive Yolo By-Pass dominates the western half of the map, protected by the Sacramento Weir and a network of levees designed to manage seasonal flooding. In the east, the urban expansion of Sacramento is connected to its western counterparts via the Tower Bridge and I St Bridge.
