2018 Map of Acorn Hollow

About this map

The Sacramento Valley floor meets the foothills of the southern Cascades in this survey of Tehama County. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins, including Campo Seco Ridge, Willow Tree Ridge, and Speegle Ridge, which channel seasonal water towards the Central Valley. Human activity is concentrated along the western edge where the terrain flattens, evidenced by Reed Orchard Rd and the broad expanse of Morris Flat. To the east, the topography becomes more complex, marked by deep incisions like Wildcat Canyon and the notable indentation of Acorn Hollow. Water sources like Horseshoe Pond, Ballard Spring, and the winding course of Deer Creek provide critical points of interest for understanding the hydrology and land use patterns of this transitional geography.
