Description: This feature class is a vector file containing polygons that represent the flood control bypasses of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Bypasses convey excess flood waters from rivers and streams onto designated lands to reduce flood risks to populated areas. This layer was used for maps in the 2017 Cantral Valley Flood Protection Plan. It does not constitute legal boundaries.
