1917 Map of Kurand

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Kurand serves as the focal point for this 1917 topographical survey, situated at the terminus of the Southern Pacific (Fruto Branch) railroad line. This Glenn County landscape transition is defined by the abrupt rise of the foothills, where the flat valley floor meets the drainage networks of South Fork Willow Creek and Nye Creek. The geography here is characterized by a series of narrow valleys and gulches, most notably Stone Valley and the smaller Salt Gulch, which channel seasonal water from the uplands toward the agricultural plains below. The presence of the railroad branch into this terrain highlights the historical importance of the area for transporting resources from the interior foothills out to the main line, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of Northern California just before the mid-century.
