About this map

The western slopes of the Sutter Buttes and the deeply etched Kinch Canyon meet a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage. This 2015 study shows how the agricultural heritage of the Sacramento Valley is maintained through features like the Wadsworth Canal, Sutter City Lateral, and Morrison Slough. These water systems crisscross the fertile land between the Snake River to the west and the Feather River forming the eastern boundary.

Residential growth is concentrated in the eastern portion of the map, where Yuba City expands near Colusa Junction. Small communities and agricultural sidings such as Lomo, Encinal, and Alemandra dot the plain, often centered on historic transport corridors like the Yuba Valley RR. From the educational grounds of Cambridge Jr Coll to the quiet site of Sutter Cemetery, the map preserves the modern layout of these long-established valley settlements.
