1954 Map of Sutter Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Sutter Buttes rise dramatically above the Sacramento Valley floor in this mid-century topographical study, revealing a complex landscape of volcanic peaks and agricultural lowlands. The central massif is defined by prominent landmarks such as North Butte, South Butte, and Old Craggy, with Peace Valley providing a level interior amongst the heights. To the south and west, the terrain transitions sharply into the reclaimed lands of the Sutter Bypass and Sutter Slough. The rural economy of the 1950s is evident in the network of Gas Well sites and the small community of Sutter, where a street grid of Acacia Ave and Perry St marks the town center. Transportation is anchored by the Sacramento Northern rail line and local hubs like Tarke and Lira. Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller landmarks including the Stohlman Cemetery and Slough School, which served the outlying farmstead families of the era.
