1951 Map of Orland

About this map

The town of Orland serves as the hub of this Glenn County landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad corridor runs parallel to an emerging network of agricultural and municipal infrastructure. This early 1950s survey captures the region's managed water systems, notably the Stony Creek Irrigation Canal and numerous reservoirs that support the surrounding fields. Local history is anchored by the Price Sch and several prominent burial grounds, including the Catholic Cemetery, the I O O F Cemetery, and the Artois Cemetery further south. The map documents smaller named points such as Grapit and Greenwood alongside aviation landmarks like Haigh Landing Field. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Walker Creek and South Fork Walker Creek provide a natural contrast to the grid-like expansion of Walker Street and West Newport Road.
