2021 Map of Sites

About this map

Antelope Valley and the western edge of the Sacramento Valley define this landscape in western Colusa County, where the historic ranching settlement of Sites remains a central point of interest. This 2021 survey details the sophisticated water management systems vital to the region's agriculture, including the massive Tehama Colusa Canal and Glenn-Colusa Canal that cut through the valley floor. The geography is marked by the sharp rise of Logan Ridge to the north and the curious drainage of Salt Lake near the northern boundary. Genealogists will find the Sites Cem preserved on the hillside just west of the townsite. Further south, the landscape transitions toward Mills Orchards, illustrating the long-standing agricultural development along the Stone Corral Cr and Funks Creek drainage systems.
