About this map

Winters serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Sacramento Valley border, where the valley floor meets the base of the Coast Range. The town's grid is bisected by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which historically linked the agricultural producers of the region to wider markets. Water management is a dominant theme of the landscape, evidenced by the channel of Putah Creek and the numerous irrigation features including Chickahominy Slough and Dry Slough.

Rural development is marked by landmarks like the Wolfskill School and Union School, alongside settlements like Norton and Arroz. The transition between Yolo and Solano counties is clearly defined by the Yolo Co Solano Co boundary, which follows the creek's path. Other notable infrastructure includes the Military Reservation to the northeast and the Mt Diablo Meridian, which provides a primary surveying reference for the entire region.
