2021 Map of Clough Gulch

About this map

Old Cow Creek and the South Cow Creek drainages dominate this northern California landscape, which transitions between the lower reaches of the Sacramento Valley and the rising foothills of Shasta County. The topography is defined by a series of parallel ravines and gulches, most notably Clough Gulch and Townsend Gulch, which cut through the ridges between Bear Creek Canyon and the surrounding highlands. This area illustrates the complex water management and natural drainage systems east of the Central Valley.
