About this map

Thomes Creek and the southern Stony Creek drainage define this landscape along the border of Tehama and Glenn counties. The 1942 survey captures a rural ranching and agricultural economy just before mid-century modernizations, centered on small settlements like Flournoy and Henleyville. The western edge is dominated by significant topographical markers including Table Mtn and Government Ridge, while the eastern flats show the early engineering of the Highline Canal and the Diversion Dam on Stony Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Nome Lackee Monument, marking the site of a mid-19th century military post and reservation. The map tracks a complex network of seasonal watercourses and springs, such as Jackson Spring and Schorn Creek, which were vital for livestock and early homesteads in the Sacramento Valley foothills. Several unnamed cemeteries and a larger Cemetery near the Glenn County line provide specific points of interest for family research.
