1954 Map of Sutter Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sutter Buttes rise dramatically from the valley floor in this mid-century topographic record, showcasing the distinctive volcanic peaks of North Butte, West Butte, and South Butte. The landscape transitions from these prominent heights into the managed water systems of the Sacramento Valley, where the Sutter Bypass and Butte Slough define the hydrological character of the region. Local life is anchored by the community of Sutter in the east, while smaller clusters like Tarke and Lira sit near the critical levee systems. This era captures the area's agricultural reliance on water management, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and the Wadsworth Canal. Genealogists may find value in locating the Stohlman Cem and the Slough Sch, which served the rural population living along the transition from the peaks of Old Craggy and Twin Peaks to the valley farmlands below.
