1985 Map of Acorn Hollow

About this map

Deer Creek and Mill Creek carve through this landscape in Tehama County, illustrating the remote and rugged character of Northern California during the mid-1980s. The map captures a transition between the elevated terrain of Allen Ridge and the broad expanses of Morris Flat, a region defined by seasonal watercourses like Big Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek. This survey records a sparse network of human habitation, including the Apperson Cabin and Favinger Place, alongside evidence of industrial and scientific activity such as a Gaging Station and various Quarries. A single Cem remains as a quiet marker of early settlement history in the region. The prevalence of 4WD tracks winding through Acorn Hollow and Twentymile Hollow highlights the area's utility for ranching, timber, or backcountry access before modern development could alter the drainage patterns of the Mt Diablo Meridian.
