About this map

The Sacramento River carves a deep path through the center of this terrain, transitioning from the narrow confines of Iron Canyon in the north toward the broader Sacramento Valley floor. In the west, the city of Red Bluff is the primary hub of activity, where the Union Pacific line runs parallel to established street grids and landmarks like the Oak Hill Cemetery and Brickyard Cr.

Agricultural infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the landscape south of the city, dominated by the paths of the Corning Canal and the Tehama-Colusa Canal. The map records an intricate network of waterways including Paynes Cr Slough, Samson Slough, and Antelope Creek that feed into the main river channel. These features, along with named locations like Big Bend and Blackberry Island, illustrate the intersection of natural river dynamics and intentional irrigation development in this part of Tehama County.
