About this map

Cohasset Ridge and the deep canyons of Big Chico Creek dominate this 1970s landscape, illustrating the remote settlement patterns of Northern California. The map documents the community of Cohasset, noting essential landmarks like the Cohasset Forest Fire Station and the Cohasset Cemetery. To the south, the village of Forest Ranch appears along with its own cemetery and fire station.

Genealogists and historians will find significant localized landmarks, such as the Anderson Mill site and individual family outposts like Spencer Ranch and Dodge Place. The geography is defined by prominent basaltic formations including Promontory Point and Platte Mountain. This era shows a landscape transitioning between early timber and ranching history, evidenced by Ponderosa Way and the numerous gravel pits and mines scattered near Doe Mill Ridge.
