About this map

The Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel and its Turning Basin dominate the mid-century industrial landscape of Yolo County, marking the era when the Port of Sacramento reshaped the region's commerce. This survey captures the distinct identities of Bryte and Broderick before their eventual consolidation into the modern city of West Sacramento. The terrain is defined by a massive flood control system, including the Sacramento Bypass and the Yolo Bypass, which are traversed by the long reach of the Yolo Causeway.

Neighborhood growth is visible through the density of local education and faith-based sites, such as Elkhorn Village Sch, Holy Cross Sch, and John F. Kennedy High Sch. The river's winding path is punctuated by landmarks like Chicory Bend and Garcia Bend, while the Sacramento Northern and Southern Pacific railroads illustrate the vital transit corridors that historically linked these riverfront communities.
