1917 Map of Kurand

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Kurand stands as a primary settlement point at the junction of the hills and the valley floor in this 1917 survey of Glenn County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the alluvial plains of the Sacramento Valley to the foothills of the Coast Range, carved by seasonal watercourses like Nye Creek and Willow Creek. A significant piece of industrial history is recorded here in the form of the Southern Pacific railroad, specifically the Fruto Branch, which served the region's agricultural and ranching needs. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the western foothills, including the long, north-south oriented Stone Valley and the steep terrain surrounding Salt Gulch and Hayes Hollow. These landforms provided natural corridors for early development and ranching boundaries during the early twentieth century.
