About this map

Thomes Creek and Stony Creek dominate this 1940s landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the western Sacramento Valley foothills. The transition from the flatlands of the valley into the rising elevations of Table Mtn is marked by numerous seasonal drainages such as Squaw Hollow Creek and Burch Creek. This era shows the critical role of water management in the region, centered on the Diversion Dam and a developing Canal system designed to redirect flows for local use.

Small settlements like Flournoy and Henleyville serve as focal points for the rural community, while the Nome Lacke Monument stands as a significant historical marker of the area's early California heritage. Genealogists can trace local landmarks from a Cem near Parker Creek to a Cemetery along Hambright Creek, reflecting the established family networks of the northern Tehama and Glenn County line.
