2018 Map of Willows

About this map

Willows serves as a prominent hub within the Sacramento Valley, anchoring an agricultural landscape defined by its vital water management systems. The town's grid is dense with residential and commercial activity, reaching toward the Willows-Glenn County Airport and the historical Willows Catholic Cem. The surrounding terrain is meticulously partitioned into township and range sections, illustrating the organized development of the Central Valley. Essential irrigation infrastructure, including the Glenn-Colusa Canal and Quint Canal, cuts through the plains to support the region's productive farmlands. Natural drainage follows the paths of Wilson Creek and Walker Cr, which meander through the flatlands alongside a network of rural county roads such as Co RD 35 and Co RD 99w. This intersection of natural waterways and engineered canals demonstrates the transformation of the California landscape for industrial-scale agriculture.
