2018 Map of Los Molinos

About this map

Los Molinos and Téhama anchor this section of the Sacramento Valley, where the Sacramento River meanders through a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and agricultural grid. The map reveals the intricate network of watercourses feeding into the river, including Mill Creek, Elder Cr, and Antelope Cr. To the east, the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Campo Seco Ridge, marked by deep drainages like Wildcat Canyon and Juniper Gulch. This interface between the flat Central Valley and the uplifted eastern ridges is crossed by numerous named thoroughfares such as Foothill Blvd and Dye Creek Ranch Rd. The settlement pattern follows a distinct north-south orientation along the river corridor, while the expansive wetlands of the Champlin Slough indicate the seasonal water movement that has shaped the history of Tehama County agriculture.
