About this map

Sites and the agricultural lands of Colusa County are defined here by a sophisticated water management network. The Tehama-Colusa Canal and Glenn-Colusa Canal dominate the eastern landscape, supporting the valley's orchards and ranches. Natural features like Stone Corral Cr and Funks Cr provide a contrast to the engineered waterways, while Funks Reservoir serves as a critical junction for irrigation.

Local history is preserved in the location of Swifts Stone Corral and the eponymous Mills Orchards, reflecting the deep-rooted ranching and farming traditions of the area. The map also traces various country roads including Sites Lodoga Rd and Maxwell Sites Rd, which converge at the small settlement of Sites. To the north, the curious Golden Gate terrain and Salt Lake mark the transition toward more varied topography.
