About this map

The town of Orland serves as the focal point of this northern Central Valley landscape, where a dense grid of irrigation and transport supports a thriving agricultural community. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor runs vertically through the center, anchoring smaller settlements like Greenwood and Grapit. A network of local roads including Walker Street, West Newport Road, and Eucalyptus Road connects the outlying farms to the municipal core.

Social and civic life is anchored by the Price Sch and the Glenn County Fairground on the eastern edge of the city. Water management is critical here, evidenced by the Stony Creek Irrigation Canal and numerous reservoirs that feed the surrounding fields. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Catholic Cemetery, I O O F Cemetery, and the more remote Artois Cemetery to the south.
