About this map

The Sacramento River meanders along the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the border between Glenn Co and Colusa Co. The settlement of Princeton anchors the southern riverbend, while Codora sits further north along the River Br Canal. This portion of the Sacramento Valley is a complex network of water management and irrigation, featuring the Provident Central Canal, Central Drain, and Provident Eastern Canal that support the surrounding agricultural lands.

Fluvial landforms such as Beehive Bend, Hanson Island, and Packer Island illustrate the shifting nature of the river's path over time. Moving away from the riparian corridor, the terrain transitions into a grid of rural roads and drainage ways like Willow Cr and Bounde Cr. Notable recreational and conservation footprints are visible through the Sul Norte Unit Trail and Packer Unit Trail, which offer access to the river's edge and the quiet Rasnor Lakes region.
