About this map

Sites sits at the junction of the hills and the valley floor in Colusa County, marking a landscape defined by significant water management and varied terrain. The area is characterized by the transition from the high elevations of Logan Ridge and the narrow corridor of Antelope Valley into the broad agricultural expanse of the Sacramento Valley. Extensive irrigation infrastructure is visible, including the Tehama Colusa Canal and the Glenn-Colusa Canal, which support the regional orchards and farms.

The presence of Funks Reservoir and Salt Lake further highlights the complex hydrology of this region, where seasonal drainages like Stone Corral Cr and Antelope Cr flow toward the valley. Local transportation is represented by historical rural routes such as Sites Lodoga RD and Maxwell Sites RD, which connect the settlement at Sites to the productive agricultural lands of Mills Orchards and the larger Central Valley to the east.
