2015 Map of Newville

About this map

Newville sits at the edge of the Sacramento Valley and the Central Valley floor, marking a point where the open plains meet the rising foothills of the Mendocino National Forest. This 2015 survey illustrates the rural boundary between Tehama and Glenn counties, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages including Thomes Cr, N Fork Stony Cr, and Salt Cr. The landscape is defined by its prominent ridgelines such as Rocky Ridge, Digger Ridge, and Heifer Ridge, which guide the path of local corridors like Newville Rd and Co Road 306. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Millsap Cemetery near Burrows Gap, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the elevation of Williams Butte. The survey reflects a sparsely populated ranching and forest-fringe economy, where the terrain dictate the layout of the road network and water rights.
