2015 Map of Bend

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a deep path through Tehama County, creating the dramatic topographical features that define this region. The small settlement of Bend sits at a prominent curve in the river, served by the historical transit corridor of Jellys Ferry Rd and the Jellys Ferry Bridge. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape where modern development, such as the residential aviation community at Lake California Air Park, meets the established ranching and agricultural heritage represented by Saron Fruit Colony Rd. The terrain is characterized by volcanic mesas and distinct peaks, including Table Mtn and Lookout Mtn, while the river itself flows through the constricted narrows of Iron Canyon. Near the northern boundary, Bloody Island stands as a landmark within the river's channel, surrounded by numerous tributaries like Battle Creek and Paynes Creek that drain into the central valley.
