About this map

Sloughhouse serves as the focal point of this agricultural and aviation-rich landscape within the Sacramento Valley. The area is defined by the winding course of the Cosumnes River and the engineered precision of the Folsom South Canal, which cuts north-to-south across the terrain. This rural region demonstrates a unique reliance on small-scale aviation, evidenced by the high density of private landing strips and air facilities including Lucchetti Ranch Airport, Boeckmann Ranch Airport, and the Alta Mesa Airpark.

Further south, the small settlement of Walmort sits near the headwaters of Badger Cr. The map details a transition from traditional ranching lands, such as those accessed via Silva Ranch Rd and Simpson Ranch Ct, to modern rural residential developments. Water management and drainage patterns are clear through the labeling of Deer Cr and the N Fork Badger Cr, reflecting the region's historical and ongoing ties to irrigation and ranching in the Central Valley.
