2018 Map of Kirkwood

About this map

Agricultural life in the Central Valley is defined by a complex network of waterways crossing the border between Tehama and Glenn counties. The landscape is dominated by engineering efforts to manage water for irrigation, including the prominent Tehama Colusa Canal, the Lemon Home Colony Canal, and the Stony Cr Irrigation Canal. These man-made channels intersect natural drainages such as Stony Creek and Rice Cr. Small community centers like Kirkwood and Wyo serve as focal points for the surrounding rural sections. Near the northern edge, the Kirkwood Cem offers a site of genealogical interest, while the southern margin reaches the northern outskirts of Orland. This 2018 survey illustrates how the grid of local roads, such as Old Corning Rd and Malton Switch Rd, provides access to the productive farm blocks that characterize this portion of Northern California.
