About this map

Corning and the nearby community of Richfield anchor this 2012 survey, which illustrates the complex water management system of the northern Sacramento Valley. The landscape is defined by the parallel paths of the Corning Canal and the Tehama Colusa Canal, which supply the agricultural interests of Tehama County. Natural drainage is still prominent, however, with numerous waterways like Thomes Creek, Jewett Creek, and the multiple branches of Hall Creek cutting west to east across the terrain.

Subsurface industrial activity is noted with the Corning Gas Field and South Corning Gas Field, while local transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Corning Municipal Airport and a dense grid of rural roads such as Davis Road and Richfield Road. This edition captures the area's transition between natural riparian corridors and the highly organized irrigation networks that drive the local economy.
