2015 Map of Los Molinos

About this map

Los Molinos and the nearby town of Tehama occupy the fertile plains of the Sacramento Valley, where numerous drainages converge on the Sacramento River. This landscape is defined by the transition from the flat agricultural lands in the west to the rising volcanic foothills in the east. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the meandering path of Champlin Slough and the many seasonal creeks, such as Mill Creek, Dye Cr, and Antelope Cr, that cut through the terrain. To the northeast, the land climbs sharply toward Campo Seco Ridge, a prominent landform overlooking deeply carved features like Wildcat Canyon and Kingsley Gulch. The map records a dense grid of rural roads and residential streets, particularly around Los Molinos, illustrating the established settlement patterns and land divisions within the northern Central Valley.
