1951 Map of Willows
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Agricultural development along the Sacramento River and the Southern Pacific rail line characterizes this mid-century survey of Glenn County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, including the Colusa Canal and numerous siphons and pumping plants that supported the local orchard economy, such as Mills Orchard. Significant rural infrastructure is visible, from the Jacinto Grange to several community schoolhouses like Kanawha Sch and Plaza Sch. The city of Willows serves as a regional hub, featuring the Willows Airport, the local Fairgrounds, and a concentrated grid of streets. Smaller settlements like Artois, Hamilton City, and Glenn are connected by well-established routes such as St John Road and Sidds Road. Aviation history is also noted with the presence of the Haigh Landing Field north of Willows.
