About this map

King Island and the complex waterways of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta define this map, illustrating the intricate relationship between reclaimed agricultural tracts and tidal channels. The settlement of Terminous sits at the confluence of the S Mokelumne River and Little Potato Slough, serving as a primary point of access to the water. The landscape is a network of named cuts and sloughs, including Honker Cut, White Slough, and Disappointment Slough, which separate large land tracts like the Empire Tract and Rindge Tract.

Aviation and maritime history converge at the Lost Isle Seaplane Base near Hog Island, while small riverside landings like Headreach Landing and Paradise Point dot the banks. To the east, the outskirts of Lodi are visible, where suburban development begins to meet the agricultural flats. This survey documents the modern delta before ongoing environmental shifts and levee maintenance further alter these islands.
