About this map

Lowrey remains a focal point in this portion of the Sacramento Valley foothills, where the rural landscape is defined by the convergence of the N Fork Elder Cr, Middle Fork Elder Cr, and S Fork Elder Cr. The settlement is marked by the presence of the Lowrey Cem, located along Lowrey Cemetary Rd just west of the creek junctions. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape of complex drainage systems and named ridges, from Valentine Ridge in the southwest to the heights of Gleason Peak in the southeast.

Transportation through these drainage basins relies on local routes like Red Bank Rd and Co Rd 80, which navigate around topographic landmarks such as Panther Rock and The Narrows. Significant geological and descriptive place names like Wagon Wheel Draw, Sunflower Gulch, and Hungry Hollow suggest a rich history of local land use and cattle ranching in the Rattlesnake Valley area, maintaining the character of this California hinterland.
