2012 Map of Cold Fork

About this map

Cold Fork serves as a central landmark in this California landscape, where numerous family-named homesteads and seasonal camps are scattered throughout the drainage basins of S Fork Cottonwood Cr and Stinking Cr. The map documents a rural pattern of development marked by specific locales like Skinner Mill Place and Shackleford Place, alongside historical activity centers such as Schoolhouse Flat. High-elevation landmarks like Salt Creek Peak and Stevenson Peak provide a topographical frame for a network of mountain roads, including Weemasoul Rd and Pettyjohn Rd. The survey also notes distinct natural features used for navigation or stock, such as Kingsley Glades, Salt Lick, and the curiously named Hole in the Ground. This 2012 record preserves the placement of isolated holdings like El Rancho Rio Frio and Goat Camp within the sprawling terrain of Tehama County.
