1952 Map of Sanborn Slough

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Butte Sink dominates this interior California landscape, where the waters of Butte Creek and Sanborn Slough create a complex marshland environment on the borders of Colusa and Sutter Counties. This 1952 topographic survey, with 1973 updates, reveals the intensive development of the area for waterfowl hunting, evidenced by a high density of private sporting camps such as the Sanborn Slough Gun Club, California Duck Club, and the Wild Goose Country Club. The presence of these clubs, alongside features like The Berry Patch, highlights the historical role of the wetlands as a hub for local recreational economy.
