2015 Map of Dewitt Peak

About this map

Dewitt Peak rises as the central landmark in this portion of Tehama County, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp ridges and seasonal watercourses. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Lassen National Forest, where the terrain transitions into a series of prominent elevations including Speegle Ridge and Greer Ridge. A notable pattern of small, family-named locales such as Facht Place, Payne Place, Wells Place, and Thompson Place suggests a history of ranching or homesteading in the foothills. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Antelope Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Little N Fork Dye Cr carving through the plateau. Unusual topographic features like Dead Cow Flat and Mud Springs Plains provide specific points of interest for those studying the regional geography and land use history of the southern Cascades foothills.
