About this map

Liza Creek flows through the center of this Tehama County landscape, where the small settlement of Blossom sits at a junction of rural roads. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Dibble Creek and Brush Creek, which carve through the foothills east of the larger S Fork Cottonwood Creek. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the valley floor into the more complex topography of Burr Valley.

A network of local roads such as Cannon Road, Johnson Road, and Hesse Road provide access across the creeks, connecting remote homesteads and agricultural plots. The map traces the natural watercourses that have historically dictated the placement of travel routes and settlements in this part of Northern California, providing an detailed look at the drainage patterns of Etzler Creek and N Fork Red Bank Creek.
