About this map

Woodland sits at the heart of the Sacramento Valley, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Central Valley. The city's residential and commercial grid is clearly defined, with the Woodland Cemetery and various public offices (marked Po) anchoring the local history of the Yolo county seat. To the north, the smaller settlement of Yolo and the community of Browns Corner indicate the satellite growth pattern typical of this region's farming economy.

Water management is the defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage. Features like the Acacia Canal, Magnolia Canal, and the Farmers Central Ditch weave through the fields, diverting water from Cache Creek and Willow Slough. To the west, the elevation rises toward the Dunnigan Hills and Monument Hill, while infrastructure like the Watts-Woodland Airport and various county roads, such as Co Road 17, facilitate the movement of goods and people across the valley floor.
