2012 Map of Arbuckle

About this map

Agricultural life in Colusa County centers around the town of Arbuckle and the nearby settlement of College City, where the flat valley landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage. The Glenn-Colusa Canal and Tehama Colusa Canal dominate the western and central reaches, feeding the local economy, while the Colusa Trough and Sycamore Slough manage the water flow to the east. The map records a grid of rural roads such as Lone Star Rd and Grimes Arbuckle Rd that connect outlying ranching operations. Along the path of Old Hwy 99W, the small community of Genevra sits near where Cortina Creek crosses the corridor. Local aviation is represented by the McCabe Ranch Airport situated near Elk Creek, providing a specialized look at the infrastructure supporting large-scale California ranching operations in the early 21st century.
