2015 Map of Mitchell Gulch

About this map

South Fork Cottonwood Creek serves as a primary drainage corridor through this section of Northern California, where the rugged canyon topography of the foothills meets the northern reaches of the Sacramento Valley Central Valley. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named ravines, including Mitchell Gulch, Solomon Gulch, and China Gulch, which carve through the terrain south of the Shasta County and Tehama County line. While much of the area remains characterized by its natural contours and drainage systems like Little Dry Creek and Pine Creek, the survey reveals a growing rural-residential grid. Access to the interior is provided by a web of local routes such as Davis Ranch Rd, Evergreen Rd, and Bowman Rd, reflecting the modern transition of these foothills into settled rural acreage.
