Overlay Map of California Flood Plains, adapted and retouched from Atlas of California. The rivers of the Great Central Valley had natural embankments built up from silt and every decade or so the rivers would overspill these embankments and flood large areas on either side of the rivers. The water would stay there for most of the year and act as freshwater wetlands and habitat for waterfowl._ You can apply transparency just enough to make it look wet, then tilt and do a fly over. These were once vast wetlands in California's Central Valley.
