2018 Map of Sutter Causeway

About this map

The agricultural heart of the Sutter Basin is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and irrigation infrastructure in the Sacramento Valley. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex water management system of the region, where the E Canal and various drainage features like Gilsizer Slough and Nelson Slough are essential to the local landscape. The settlement of Subaco and the namesake Sutter Causeway serve as focal points for a rural road network that includes family-named thoroughfares such as Jewett Rd and Baker Rd. Aviation's role in local industry is noted at the Sunrise Dusters Airport, likely serving crop-dusting operations common to this fertile valley. The map provides a clear record of land division and reclamation efforts that transformed this portion of California into a productive agricultural engine.
