2018 Map of Sutter

About this map

The prominent volcanic formations of the Sutter Buttes rise sharply in the northwest, casting a shadow over the agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley. This region is defined by a dense network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Wadsworth Canal, Live Oak Canal, and the Sutter County Extension Canal, which support the intensive cultivation surrounding the town of Sutter. To the east, the Feather River serves as a natural boundary between Sutter Co and Yuba Co, as the landscape transitions into the residential expansion of Yuba City. The map reveals a tapestry of small settlements such as Encinal, Nuestro, and Tierra Buena, interspersed with local landmarks like the Sutter Butte Dusters Airport and Sutter Cem. This layout illustrates the area's dual character as both a productive farming heartland and a growing suburban corridor anchored by the nearby college and transit nodes like Colusa Junction.
