2021 Map of Dewitt Peak

About this map

Dewitt Peak rises above a landscape of high ridges and drainage gulches in Tehama County, illustrating the complex hydrology where numerous forks of Dye Cr begin their descent. This eastern section of the Sacramento Valley foothills, documented in 2021, shows the transition into the Lassen National Forest. The map detail reveals the remote character of the terrain, including several curiously named plateaus such as Mud Springs Plains, Durley Flat, and Dead Cow Flat. Access to this high country is primarily defined by the historic alignments of Hogsback Rd and Cone Grove Rd. The network of seasonal watercourses like Kingsley Gulch and Dewitt Gulch underscores the geographic isolation and natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and grazing in this corner of Northern California.
