2018 Map of Gerber

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders along the eastern edge of this Central Valley corridor, shaping a landscape defined by island features like Todd Island and Mooney Island. Settled communities such as Gerber, Proberta, and Tehama cluster near the river, while a sophisticated network of water infrastructure, including the Tehama Colusa Canal and the Corning Canal, cuts across the plains to support regional agriculture. For those researching local lineages, the Tehama Cem is a prominent landmark located near the riverbank. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of several creeks, such as Elder Cr, Coyote Cr, and Oat Cr, which flow toward the Sacramento. This landscape illustrates the intersection of natural river morphology and the extensive civil engineering required to manage water in the Tehama County interior.
