About this map

Antelope Valley characterizes this portion of Colusa County, where the transition from the rugged western ridges to the flat valley floor is defined by a series of intermittent drainages. The small settlement of Sites serves as a central point, situated near the confluence of local trails and the Sites-Lodoga Road. To the north, the label Golden Gate marks a distinct gap in the terrain where Funks Creek cuts through the ridges.

Agricultural development is evident in the south at Mills Orchards, supported by a network of water management features including the Glenn-Colusa Canal and various siphons and pumps. This 1950s landscape, later photoinspected in the early 1970s, remains largely focused on ranching and early orchard cultivation. The presencia of a Quarry near Sites and a lone Grave in the southeast corner provides specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracking family-named landmarks such as Huffmaster Road and Peterson Road.
