About this map

Orland and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of the Sacramento Valley dominate this modern survey of the Tehama and Glenn County border. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential to the region, featuring the large-scale Tehama Colusa Canal and the Stony Cr Irrigation Canal, which divert water to support the valley's orchards and fields. Smaller settlements like Kirkwood and Wyo are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Hwy 99W, illustrating the long-standing transport corridor through the valley.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of the Kirkwood Cem and Orland Masonic Cem, alongside named watercourses such as Stony Creek and Rice Cr. The placement of the Lemon Home Colony Canal highlights earlier 20th-century irrigation efforts that shaped the development of these rural communities, while labels like School Ln point to the social heart of the historic farming districts.
