About this map

Gazelle sits as the primary settlement in this northern California valley, surrounded by a complex system of watercourses and named canyons. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Willow Cr and Scarface Cr, which flow through a terrain marked by prominent landmarks such as Antelope Mtn and the distinctive Bonnet Rock. Local history is anchored by the presence of both the Gazelle Cem and Foulke Cem, suggesting deep-rooted family ties to this ranching and agricultural region.

A network of named roads, including Old Hwy 99 S and Gazelle Callahan Rd, traces the historical travel routes through the gulches that carve the hillsides. Numerous features like Guys Gulch, Cram Gulch, and Lime Gulch indicate a landscape heavily influenced by seasonal water movement and the practical needs of early land surveyors and settlers who named these passages for navigation and resource access.
