2015 Map of Orland

About this map

The Sacramento Valley landscape of Glenn County is defined here by the intersection of early agricultural settlements and the vital water infrastructure of the Tehama Colusa Canal. The city of Orland serves as the primary hub, with a dense grid of streets including Walker St and Colusa St that anchor the northern section of the map. Traces of the region's historical development are visible through the proximity of Oddfellows Cemetery and Catholic Cemetery, while the small communities of Greenwood and Grapit mark the southward progression along the modern transportation corridor. This survey documents the intensive land use of the valley floor, where the winding course of Walker Creek and S Fork Walker Cr contrasts with the straight-line precision of the irrigation canals and a vast network of county roads. The aviation presence at Haigh Field and the legacy of transportation along Railroad Ave further illustrate the area's role as a regional crossroads.
