About this map

The Sacramento River carves a winding path through this corner of the California Central Valley, defining a landscape engineered for flood control and irrigation. The massive Tisdale Weir and associated Tisdale By-Pass dominate the central terrain, funneling river overflow toward the broad Sutter By-Pass to the east. This network of canals, including the Wadsworth Canal and West Side Canal, supports the intensive agricultural grid that characterizes the region.

Small clusters of activity are scattered across the flats, from the community of Progress to river-oriented sites like Fraziers Landing and Eddys Ferry. Local transportation is defined by a dense lattice of named farm-to-market roads, such as Franklin Levee Rd and Reclamation Rd, which connect rural outposts like Joesphine and Hinsdale. To the north, Moronis Airport provides a localized aerial hub for this productive agricultural corridor.
