About this map

The agricultural heart of the Sacramento Valley is defined by a complex irrigation network in this Colusa County landscape. Dominating the western and northern reaches, the Glenn-Colusa Canal and Tehama Colusa Canal channel essential water through the flatlands, supporting the region's long-standing farming tradition. The town of Arbuckle serves as a primary hub, situated along the historic corridor of Old Highway 99W. To the southeast, College City remains a distinct point of interest, established in the late 19th century as a temperance college town.

Natural drainage features like Cortina Cr and Salt Cr meander toward the Colusa Trough in the east, contrasting with the strictly engineered grid of local thoroughfares such as Hahn Rd and Lone Star Rd. This layout illustrates the evolution of rural transportation and water management, where modern infrastructure overlays original settlement patterns at places like Genevra and along Whiskey Creek Rd.
