About this map

Deer Creek Flat characterizes this portion of Tehama County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and established stock camps. This 2012 survey captures a rugged interior used primarily for ranching and resource management, evidenced by named sites like Apperson Cow Camp, Goat Camp, and Leininger Camp. The geography is centered on the westward flow of Deer Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Dry Creek and Sulphur Creek.

Transit through this drainage-heavy terrain relies on established water crossings such as Grapevine Crossing and Six-Bit Crossing. Significant landmarks like Steamboat Rock and Brushy Mountain provide vertical contrast to the low-lying basins of Moak Cove and Dillion Cove. The map also identifies specific locales of interest to local historians, including Roberts Place and the mineral-associated Sulphur Lick.
