1985 Map of Dewitt Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Dewitt Peak rises above a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and remote homesteads in eastern Tehama County during the mid-1980s. This territory is largely dominated by the Tehama State Wildlife Area, where the rugged terrain transitions from the Mud Springs Plains into the western edges of the Lassen National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably specific in its naming of small family-named sites, such as the Facht Homestead, Rasmussen Cabin, and Thompson Place. These locations, many situated along Antelope Creek or its tributaries like Little Grapevine Creek, reveal a history of isolated cattle ranching and seasonal camps. The presence of the Underground Telephone Line and a high-voltage Steel Tower Trans Line cutting north-to-south provides a striking contrast between modern infrastructure and the primary wilderness character of the ridge systems, including Speegle Ridge and Willow Tree Ridge.
