About this map

Wheatland serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, situated at the junction of the Yuba and Placer county line. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Bear River and Dry Creek converge with several sloughs, including Grasshopper Slough and Best Slough. These waterways cut through the fertile floor of the Sacramento Valley, illustrating the intersection of historical agricultural land and modern infrastructure.

North of the town center, the influence of Beale Air Force Base is evident through an organized grid of streets such as Warren Shingle Rd and Doolittle Dr. Further east, the settlement of Horstville stands near the water's edge, while the Wheatland Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking local families. The map also captures the broader geographic context of the Central Valley, showing how rural roads like Ostrom Rd and Virginia Rd connect these scattered communities.
