About this map

Agricultural lands and seasonal waterways define this portion of the Sacramento Valley just north of Chico. The small settlements of Nord and Anita sit along the corridors of the Cana Hwy and Hamilton Nord Cana Hwy, surrounded by a grid of rural lanes like Will T Rd and Keefer Rd. This area is shaped by a complex network of drainage, where Pine Creek and Rock Creek meander toward the Butte and Glenn county line.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Pine Creek Cem situated near the intersection of Cana Pine Creek Rd and Broyles Rd. In the southern portion of the map, the landscape transitions toward the outskirts of the city, where Sycamore Creek and Mud Creek approach residential developments. Significant infrastructure including the Giannella Bridge at the southwestern boundary highlights the vital crossings required in this water-rich valley floor.
