About this map

The Sacramento River and the newly developed industrial waterfront define this 1960s landscape, where the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel meets the Barge Canal. The infrastructure of the Port of Sacramento is clearly visible, including its Turning Basin, Grain Elevator, and Storage Bins, signaling the city's growth as a major inland maritime hub. In West Sacramento, the layout of neighborhoods like Bryte and Broderick shows a community transitioning between its older rail-oriented roots and new suburban expansion.

Education and recreation are prominent across the river in the southern reaches of Sacramento, with sprawling campuses for James Marshall High Sch and John F Kennedy High Sch. The map tracks the winding course of the river through several named reaches, such as Chicory Bend and Garcia Bend, while the Yolo Causeway and Southern Pacific tracks bridge the vast flood control areas of the Yolo Bypass to the west.
