About this map

Orland Buttes rise above the transition where the foothills meet the Sacramento Valley floor in this section of Glenn County. The landscape is defined by a series of parallel drainage systems, including Hambright Creek and several branches of South Fork Walker Creek, which flow eastward toward the Central Valley. The presence of the Tehama Colusa Canal in the southeastern corner highlights the engineering required to sustain agriculture in this Mediterranean climate, while the naming of seasonal drainages like Tall Cabin Creek and White Cabin Creek suggests early homesteading or grazing activity in the higher ground. A network of county roads, such as Co RD 28 and Co RD C, follows the township and range lines, illustrating the systematic land division that organized this ranching and farming territory.
