1967 Map of Taylor Monument

About this map

The Sacramento River winds through this landscape, defining the western edge of the American Basin during a period of significant infrastructure development. The massive Sacramento Metropolitan Airport dominates the central terrain, while the older Natomas Airport remains visible to the southeast. Transport and water management are the primary themes here, as seen in the extensive network of irrigation and drainage systems including the Yolo Bypass, West Drainage Canal, and North Main Canal.
