Description

The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta of California - covering the right half of the map.

  • The "lake-like" body of water near the bottom of the image is Clifton Court Forebay , where pumps lift water to be sent southward in the California Water Project canal.
  • Several other open areas in the right half of the image are "islands," many of which have elevations well below sea level. Waterways (in blue) are clearly visible, as are fields and croplands (which appear as patchwork ), and urban areas (especially Stockton ).
