1952 Map of Sutter Causeway

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Agricultural development and flood control infrastructure dominate this landscape in the Sacramento Valley. The Sutter By-Pass cuts a wide swath across the terrain, flanked by a complex system of levees and the East Canal to manage the area's seasonal inundation. The settlement of Subaco sits along the Southern Pacific Railroad, which runs parallel to the bypass, serving as a vital transport artery for local produce. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural roads, including Sutter Causeway and Subaco Road, reflecting the intensive land use of the mid-20th century. Notable water features like Gilsizer Slough and Nelson Slough persist amidst the engineered drainage, while a solitary Landing Strip and a Pumping Station highlight the specialized infrastructure required to maintain this productive but flood-prone region.
