Orland Buttes rise above the western edge of the Sacramento Valley, marking a transition from the agricultural plains of the Central Valley to the foothills of the Coast Range. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous waterways like N Fork Walker Cr, South Fork Walker Creek, and Wilson Creek descend toward the basin. The southern reaches of the map show the Tehama-Colusa Canal, a significant piece of water infrastructure that supports the region's agricultural economy. Local geography is further detailed by family-named or descriptive landmarks such as White Cabin Cr, Tall Cabin Cr, and Sheep Corral Cr, which suggest a history of ranching and early settlement in these folds of Glenn County. The road network, including Co Road 28 and Co Road C, follows the natural contours and section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
