2022 Map of Onion Butte

About this map

Lassen National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Tehama County, where the historic Lassen Trail snakes through the northern sections near Round Valley. This territory is defined by its complex drainage systems and significant elevation changes, anchored by landmarks such as Onion Butte and Onion Summit. The southern reaches of the map are particularly notable for the Colby Mtn Lookout situated atop Colby Mtn, overlooking the headwaters of Colby Cr and S Fork Calf Cr. Along the corridor of Ca 32, the terrain drops sharply toward the water, marked by the presence of Deer Creek Falls and Lower Deer Creek Falls. The presence of labels like Peckerwood and various family or descriptive names for remote creeks provides a glimpse into the nomenclature of this protected wilderness during the early 21st century.
