1949 Map of Kirkwood

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Stony Creek defines the lower half of this landscape as it flows toward the Sacramento Valley, weaving through an agricultural corridor of irrigation channels and local schools. The map captures the northern edge of Orland, showing its urban expansion at the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Stony Creek Irrigation Canal. Rural life is anchored by several educational centers, including Union High Sch, Lake School, and the Seventh-day Adventist School, alongside the Masonic Cem. Further north, the settlement of Kirkwood sits near the Kirkwood Res and the prominent Grant Boundary. The transition from the flatlands to the west is marked by several seasonal drainages like Sour Grass Creek and Moore Creek, while infrastructure such as an Airway Beacon and a network of canals like the Pacific Canal illustrates the mid-century development of water and transportation systems in the Tehama and Glenn county borderlands.
