About this map

The Sacramento River flows through the American Basin, defining the western edge of this landscape where intensive irrigation and aviation infrastructure meet. Modern drainage works, including the West Drainage Canal, East Drainage Canal, and N Main Canal, crisscross the Central Valley floor, highlighting the region's managed hydrology. The sprawling grounds of Sacramento International Airport dominate the center of the sheet, while the smaller Sopwith Farm Airport sits to the north near the Sutter and Sacramento county line.

Residential development in northern Sacramento expands toward the airport, featuring neighborhood landmarks like the International Academy of Design and Technology. Along the riverbanks, river-oriented features such as Twelvemile Bar and Tenmile Shoals provide specific points of reference for local history and river navigation. Small named locales like Kiesel and Beatrice remain along the Garden Hwy and Co Rd 117 corridors, marking the transition from suburban outskirts to agricultural valley lands.
