About this map

Fairview occupies a level plain in Colusa County as it appeared during the first decade of the twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the transition from the flat agricultural valley floor to the dramatic, ridged topography that rises sharply to the west. This Preliminary Edition serves as a transitional survey, capturing the drainage patterns of Freshwater Creek and the meandering path of Glenn Valley Slough before modern water management significantly altered the Sacramento Valley watershed. The transportation network is anchored by the Colusa and Lake route, which tracks along the eastern edge of the foothills. The meticulous contour work at a five-foot interval reveals the intricate natural benching and watercourses that once dictated the placement of early California ranching and settlement sites in this region.
