2012 Map of Leesville

About this map

Leesville sits at the junction of several historic mountain routes, serving as a focal point for this section of Colusa County. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct valleys and flats, including Sawtelle Valley, Shoemaker Valley, and Oat Valley, which suggest a long history of ranching and transit through the Coast Ranges. Water sources are vital markers on this terrain, with Adobe Spring, Skinnerville Spring, and Sulphur Spring scattered across the map, often located near the base of prominent landmarks like the Bear Valley Buttes. The placement of Robbers Flat near the rugged Stinchfield Canyon hints at the area's colorful local lore. Movement through the region is dictated by the gaps and passes, most notably Leesville Gap, which connects the high valley floor to the winding paths of Bartlett Springs Rd and Bear Valley Rd.
