About this map

Ono and Gas Point anchor this northern California landscape where the Sacramento Valley begins its ascent into the foothills. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Roaring River, Huling Cr, and the N Fork Cottonwood Cr, which have carved distinctive features like Dutch Gulch and Coal Pit Gulch. Human adaptation to this environment is evident in the Happy Valley Irrigation Canal and the winding path of Platina Rd, connecting scattered residences and family-named roads like Nelson Rd and Stoekell Rd.

To the west, the Bald Hills rise above the drainage basins of Squaw Cr and Crow Cr. The transition from valley floor to upland is marked by the Shasta Co Tehama Co boundary line in the south, near Poverty Gulch. Local history is embedded in the very naming of the landscape, from the early settlements to the Cemetery Rd that hints at the community's long-standing presence in this corner of Shasta County.
