About this map

Gerber and the surrounding agricultural lands of Tehama County are defined by a complex network of irrigation and river systems. The Sacramento River marks the eastern boundary, featuring large landforms like Todd Island and Mooney Island. The landscape is engineered for productivity, dominated by the parallel courses of the Tehama Colusa Canal and the Corning Canal, which bisect the valley floor to support local orchards and farms.

Small settlements such as Proberta, Las Flores, and El Camino dot the grid of county roads, reflecting the region's rural character and its reliance on the central town of Gerber. Institutional landmarks like the El Camino Grange and Tehama Cem provide important touchpoints for genealogical research and local history. The map also traces numerous seasonal drainage creeks, including Elder Cr, Oat Cr, and Coyote Cr, which weave through the agricultural blocks toward the river.
