About this map

Agricultural development and water management define the Central Valley landscape of Colusa County as seen in this 1940s survey. The Southern Pacific (Woodland Line) serves as a primary north-south axis, connecting the larger settlements of Williams and Arbuckle while passing through smaller stops like Genevra (Berlin) and Macy. The engineering of the land is visible through an extensive network of irrigation, including the Lurline Canal and the Cheney Slough and Irrigation Canal, which divert water across the plains to support the region's farms.
