1953 Map of Cortina Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Glenn-Colusa Canal defines the eastern agricultural landscape of this Colusa County study, where irrigation infrastructure supported local farming just after the mid-century. The terrain transitions from the flat valley floor near Beauchamp Road to the rising elevations of the interior hills, marked by peaks like Vabm 697 and Chamisal. This 1953 revision reveals a network of water-dependent land use, from the Cortina Vineyard to the numerous windmills scattered across the drainages of Cortina Creek and the South Fork Cortina Creek. In the southeast, the Arbuckle Golf Club and the curious label of Whisky Creek provide points of interest for local history enthusiasts. The map reflects a period when topography was being refined by modern plotter methods while still retaining the groundwork of early 20th-century plane-table surveys.
