§ 23148 Solano County Boundaries

Key Takeaways

  • •Solano County has specific borders that start and end in San Pablo Bay.
  • •The borders follow lines, creeks, rivers, and sloughs, like Putah Creek and the Sacramento River.
  • •The boundaries are based on a map made by surveyors William Wayne Fitch and E. H. Marshall.
  • •The description uses directions (like north, east) and distances to explain where the lines go.

Example

Imagine you're driving from Fairfield to Vallejo in Solano County. You start near the bay, drive along roads that follow old creek beds and rivers, and end up back near the water.

The law describes the exact path of Solano County’s borders, just like how roads or property lines are marked. If you follow these lines, you’ll stay within the county.
