2012 Map of Kimshew Point

About this map

Kimshew Point rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Butte County, defined by a complex network of seasonal creeks and mountain meadows. The terrain is structured by massive features like Table Mountain and Bald Mountain, while the human footprint is primarily marked by forest roads such as Concow Rd and Cow Camp Rd. These routes connect remote outposts and grazing areas, including the Campbell Cow Camp and Ramsey Bar. Water sources are numerous, with Little Kimshew Cr and Keyser Cr draining through steep ravines like Long Ravine and Breakneck Canyon. The presence of several named meadows, such as Logue Meadows and Millers Meadow, indicates a landscape historically utilized for summer range and timber access, punctuated by isolated water features like Granite Spring and the small Bear Lake in the northeastern corner.
