1952 Map of Sutter

About this map

The dramatic eastern slopes of the Sutter Buttes rise abruptly from the flat Sacramento Valley floor, dominating the western edge of this topographic study. Below the peaks, the landscape is defined by an intensive irrigation network, featuring the Sutter Butte Canal and various sloughs like Snake Slough and Morrison Slough. This mid-century view captures the agricultural and transit heart of the county as Yuba City begins to expand westward into the orchards and fields.
