About this map

Deer Creek meanders across the southern portion of this mid-1980s survey, anchoring a landscape marked by deep canyons and seasonal drainage. The area is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Allen Ridge, Willow Tree Ridge, and Red Ridge, which separate various branches of Dye Creek and Mill Creek. This terrain necessitated a network of four-wheel-drive trails to reach isolated locations such as The Narrows and Morris Flat.

Human activity is evidenced by several remote outposts and historical markers. Genealogists and researchers may find interest in the Tenmile (Site) and its associated Tenmile Cem in Tenmile Hollow. Individual family landmarks and temporary camps are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from Apperson Cabin in the northwest to Hobson Camp and Favinger Place further south, illustrating the cattle-ranching and outdoor heritage of this part of Tehama County.
