2021 Map of Black Butte Dam

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Black Butte Lake and the prominent volcanic landmark of Black Butte dominate this northern California landscape where the Sacramento Valley meets the rising foothills. The reservoir, formed by the damming of Stony Creek, sits at the convergence of Tehama and Glenn counties, creating a complex shoreline that borders the rugged Orland Buttes. This 2021 survey reveals a territory defined by seasonal drainages such as Sehorn Cr, Brannin Creek, and Hambright Cr, which carve through the Central Valley terrain. Local history is anchored by the Graves Cem located north of Newville Rd. The transportation network is primarily composed of rural connectors like Black Butte Rd E and Long Hollow Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to water management and open grazing lands between the peaks and the valley floor.
