About this map

Tehama State Wildlife Area and the western edge of Lassen National Forest dominate this mid-1990s landscape, defined by a series of dramatic ridges and deep gulches. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Dewitt Peak and the unique formation of the Rock Wall. Water is central to the area's character, with drainage systems including Antelope Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the various branches of North Fork Dye Creek and Red Dye Creek carving through the volcanic plateaus.

Historical human presence is recorded through numerous former habitations and camps. Genealogists and local historians will find several specific family-named locations, including Thompson Place, the Facht Homestead, and multiple sites like Willards Camp and Wells Place. These locations, alongside features like Arts Pond and the expansive Mud Plains, suggest a history of seasonal ranching and wilderness resource management along the Mt Diablo Meridian long before this 1995 revision by the Forest Service.
