1952 Map of Blossom

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Blossom sits at a junction of rural roads and seasonal waterways in this mid-century topographic study of western Tehama County. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the South Fork Cottonwood Creek and North Fork Red Bank Creek, which carve through the terrain to create distinctive features like Burr Valley. Established routes such as Beegum Road and Reeds Creek Road link the scattered ranching and agricultural operations across the foothills. A network of survey benchmarks, including Montgomery Lookout BM 834, indicates the strategic importance of this elevated ground for fire observation and land management. The presence of multiple unnamed reservoirs suggests a landscape heavily adapted for water storage to support local needs, while names like Hooker Creek and Johnson Reeds Creek provide direct links to the region's early landowning families.
