About this map

Dorris stands as a central community in this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of northern Siskiyou County, situated within the expanse of Butte Valley. The map highlights a transition from the agricultural and residential grids of the valley floor to the rising topography of Dorris Hill and Otey Ridge. Local history is anchored by the Picard Cemetery, which remains a significant landmark alongside the nearby Pleasant Valley.

Transportation and recreation routes are well-defined, ranging from the neighborhood streets like Sleepy Hollow Dr and Paradise Dr to the more utilitarian Picard Rd and Richardson Rd. The presence of the Butte Valley Airport and the borders of the Butte Valley National Forest illustrate the area's mix of aviation infrastructure and preserved wilderness. Ephemeral water bodies such as Mud Lake and Indian Tom Lake provide key geographical markers for those tracing land use and environmental features in this part of California.
