2015 Map of Lowrey

About this map

Lowrey and its surrounding ranch lands occupy this transitional landscape where the foothills meet the Sacramento Valley. The map detail reveals a scattered network of homesteads and family-named locations such as Banfield Place, Montgomery Place, and Saunders Place, illustrating the historical land use patterns of this Tehama County region. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Red Bank Cr and Elder Cr, with topographic landmarks like The Narrows and Panther Rock rising above the flats. Local history is anchored at the Lowrey Cemetery, situated near the confluence of the Middle Fork Elder Cr and N Fork Elder Cr. These watercourses, along with named springs like Jungle Spring, define the viability of the canyon bottoms for the small settlements and gardens that dot the ridges and valleys.
