2015 Map of Colusa

About this map

The Sacramento River defines the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the water's meandering path creates distinctive features like Cobbs Bend and Arnold Bend. In the heart of the Sacramento Valley, the city of Colusa serves as a hub of activity, its street grid laid out near the riverbank while the surrounding terrain is dominated by a complex network of drainage and irrigation. Notable waterways such as the Colusa Trough, Powell Slough, and the Cheney Slough Irrigation Canal illustrate the intensive water management required for the region's productive farmlands. To the north, the Colusa Rancheria and the calm waters of Sabin Lake offer a contrast to the geometric precision of the valley's road system, which includes long stretches like Lone Star Rd and San Jose Rd. Small aviation interests are represented by the centrally located Davis Airport, highlighting the region's connection to wider transit networks.
