2012 Map of Kirkville

About this map

The Sacramento River meanders through this agricultural region of Colusa County, defined by a complex series of sharp river bends and historic landings. Settlement patterns follow the water, with sites like Boyers Landing, Mummas Landing, and Poffenbergers Landing marking the transition between the river's edge and the surrounding fields. The landscape is heavily engineered for water management, featuring the prominent West Side Canal and various drainage routes that support the local farming economy. A dense network of named bends, including Steiner Bend, Poker Bend, and Ministerial Bend, illustrates the river's historical path and the challenges of navigation and flood control. Inland, small communities like Kirkville and Robbins serve as local hubs, connected by a grid of rural roads such as Browning Rd and Subacco Rd. Natural water bodies like Hiatt Lake and Beaver Lake persist in the low-lying areas near the river, alongside landmarks such as Tyndall Mound.
