About this map

Flournoy sits as the central settlement in this portion of Tehama County, where the western edge of the Sacramento Valley meets the rising terrain of the coastal ranges. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several significant waterways, most notably Thomes Cr and Mill Cr, which flow eastward toward the valley floor. To the north, the prominent elevation of Table Mtn overlooks a network of canyons and gulches, including the deeply etched Government Gulch.

The road network reflects a rural ranching economy, with long-established routes like Paskenta Rd, Corning Rd, and Boggs and Champlin Rd connecting isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The transition from the flat reaches of the Central Valley to the more varied topography of Squaw Hollow and the surrounding hills reveals a landscape shaped by both hydrology and historical land use. Smaller drainages like Houghton Creek and McCarty Cr further carve the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed system that supports this region.
