1952 Map of Sutter Causeway

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Sutter By-Pass dominates this Central Valley landscape, illustrating the complex water management systems essential to local agriculture. In this mid-century survey, the massive flood control channel and the parallel East Canal slice diagonally through a grid of reclaimed land. The small settlement of Subaco sits along the Southern Pacific Reclamation rail line, which served the region's transport needs before the modernization of the road network. Natural drainage features like Gilsizer Slough and Nelson Slough appear as remnants of the original hydrology, now hemmed in by levees and pumping facilities. The presence of the Sutter Causeway and a small Landing Strip at the southern edge highlights the infrastructure required to navigate and maintain this productive but flood-prone basin.
