About this map

The town of Sheridan anchors the northeastern corner of this 2015 study of the California landscape at the border of Sutter, Placer, and Yuba Counties. Positioned within the Sacramento Valley, the region is defined by an intricate network of waterways including the Bear River and the meandering Coon Cr. The terrain is characterized by numerous sloughs, such as Grasshopper Slough, Yankee Slough, and Bunkham Slough, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Central Valley.

A strictly gridded road system, featuring local thoroughfares like Pleasant Grove Rd and Nicolaus Rd, overlays the natural features of the valley floor. These survey lines reveal the agricultural organization of the land, connecting smaller family-named landmarks and corridors like Markham Ravine to the larger settlement at Sheridan. The map captures the interface between the riparian corridors of the valley and the structured development of the northern California interior.
