The Sutter Basin is a 264 sq mi (680 km2)[1] area of the Sacramento Valley in the U.S. state of California, and is part of the Feather River drainage basin. The basin includes the Sutter Basin Fire Protection District of ~127 sq mi (330 km2)[2] and uses irrigation from the Thermalito Afterbay's Sutter-Butte Canal.[3] The Feather River and the Sutter By-Pass are the basin's east and southwest borders.
