About this map

Willows serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Sacramento Valley, anchoring a landscape defined by organized agriculture and vital water management. The town's grid is dense with residential streets such as E Walnut St and W Sycamore St, while the Willows-Glenn County Airport and the Catholic Cemetery mark the community's outskirts. This 2015 survey illustrates how irrigation systems like the Glenn-Colusa Canal and Quint Canal support the surrounding farmland, which is further divided by numerous county roads following the Public Land Survey System grid.

To the north, the smaller settlements of Artois and Bluegum sit along the transportation corridor of Co Road 99W. The natural drainage of the valley is represented by winding seasonal watercourses including Wilson Cr and Walker Creek, which provide a sharp contrast to the linear precision of the man-made canals. This map documents a region where modern infrastructure and large-scale water diversion have reshaped the traditional valley floor to support a robust agricultural economy.
