1949 Map of Kirkwood

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The agricultural and transit corridor along the Tehama and Glenn county line is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, which runs north-south through the settlements of Kirkwood and Orland. This 1949 survey illustrates an intricate water management system essential to the Central Valley's productivity, featuring the Stony Creek Irrigation Canal, Lemon Home Canal, and Colony Canal. These waterways divert from Stony Creek to support the surrounding orchards and fields. Local community life is evidenced by several rural educational and religious sites, including the Calumet Sch, Lake School, and the Seventh-day Adventist School. The map also captures aviation infrastructure of the era, such as an Airway Beacon and the Orland Auxiliary Airport No 2, while legacy land divisions are preserved through the Capay Grant Boundary.
