About this map

Musty Buck Ridge and Cohasset Ridge define the vertical character of this landscape in the late 1970s, where small settlements cling to high ground between steep drainages. The community of Cohasset serves as a focal point, supported by local infrastructure like the Cohasset Com and the Cohasset Forest Fire Sta. To the north, the boundary of the Lassen National Forest meets the Tehama Co Butte Co line, indicating a transition into more protected timberlands.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and early industry is found at the Anderson Mill (Site) and scattered Mines near the southern edge. The map captures a moment when traditional land use, represented by the Spencer Ranch and Durbin Place, coexists with newer developments like the Trailer Park near Forest Ranch. The presence of multiple radio towers, including Radio Tower (KHSL) and Radio Tower (KPAY), marks these ridges as critical communication hubs for the northern Sacramento Valley.
