About this map

Campo Seco Ridge and Allen Ridge define the elevated northern reaches of this Tehama County landscape, where numerous seasonal drainages carve deep incisions through the terrain. The hydrological pattern is dominated by parallel watercourses like Mill Cr and Big Dry Cr, flowing southwest toward the Sacramento Valley. The presence of The Narrows along Mill Creek suggests a significant geological constriction in the canyon profile, while Horseshoe Pond and Ballard Spring provide distinct water points in an otherwise arid rangeland environment.

Human activity is represented by remote outposts and named locales such as Favinger Place and several established camps including Lee Camp, Delay Camp, and Hobson Camp. These sites, along with the singular Reed Orchard Rd in the south, reflect a history of seasonal grazing, hunting, or early agricultural attempts. Named topographical features like Tenmile Hollow and Twentymile Hollow speak to the scale of this territory as it was navigated and partitioned by early settlers and ranchers.
