Land in the
Delta setting.
Walnut Grove CDP has 10.2 square miles of land in Sacramento County. Its Census reference point is in Delta, within Central California Valley.
The Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems occupy broad sediment-filled basins, with fans and terraces toward the valley margins. These nearly level landscapes contrast with California's surrounding hills and mountains.
