About this map

Arbuckle serves as the primary hub in this agricultural region of the Sacramento Valley, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and orchards. The presence of the massive Tehama Colusa Canal, Glenn-Colusa Canal, and the Colusa-Trough underscores the industrial-scale water management required to sustain the valley's productivity. Smaller settlements like College City and Genevra are linked by a grid of farm-to-market roads, such as Grimes Arbuckle Rd and Hahn Rd, which follow the township and range lines.

Natural drainage features including Cortina Cr and Salt Cr meander through the flatlands, occasionally intersected by human-made canals. Aviation interests in the area are represented by the Strain Ranch Airport, situated just west of the main transit corridor along Hwy 99. The map reveals the precise layout of the Colusa County interior, showing how residential clusters are tightly integrated with the surrounding fields and essential water infrastructure.
