2018 Map of Glenn

About this map

Bayliss and the smaller settlement of Glenn anchor this section of the Sacramento Valley, where an intricate irrigation network of the early 21st century dictates the landscape. The Glenn-Colusa Canal and Provident-Main-Canal cut long, linear paths through the agricultural grid, revealing the essential role of water management in Glenn County. Along the eastern edge, the Sacramento River forms a natural boundary, winding past Hartley Island and Shepard Slough. This modern survey illustrates how decades of land reclamation and water engineering have transformed the floodplain into a high-productivity agricultural zone. Local family history is reflected in the named rural roads and lanes, such as Pear Ave, Gum Ave, and Walnut Ln, which branch off the primary thoroughfare of State Route 162 near the Butte County line.
