About this map

Paynes Creek and the surrounding volcanic uplands of Tehama County are defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Sacramento Valley. The landscape is dominated by the prominent cinder cones of Inskip Hill and Little Inskip Hill, which rise above a series of parallel ridges and deep gulches. To the east, the boundary of the Lassen National Forest encompasses the high ground of Plum Creek Ridge, where numerous tributaries like N Fork Plum Cr and Oat Cr originate.

A network of local routes, including Hogsback Road and Lanes Valley Rd, traverses the ridges to connect isolated settlements and cattle flats. The southern portion of the map identifies Durley Flat near the banks of Cameron Cr, illustrating the small pockets of level ground utilized within this heavily dissected terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the topographical interface between the Cascades and the valley floor.
