Karnak is an unincorporated locality in Sutter County. It is located southeast of Ensley, on the west bank of the Sutter Bypass (opposite Verona), near where the Feather River flows into the Sacramento River. Its elevation is 23 feet.
The native plant community of Karnak is valley grassland. This means that winter flooding, extremely dry summers, and soil that tends to be somewhat alkaline make it difficult for trees and shrubs to grow. However, grasses or grasslike plants are not necessarily the dominant plants either. Many types of herbaceous plants thrive in valley grassland.
The U.S. Postal Service sometimes lists addresses in Karnak as being in Robbins, because Karnak is in the 95645 zip code and Robbins is partly in it as well. However, on the Yuba-Sutter Wiki, we prefer listing the more specific location Karnak.
