2015 Map of Panther Spring

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this portion of Tehama County, where a network of springs and canyons defines the drainage patterns of the southern Cascades. The map highlights a series of isolated homesteads or historic sites including Peligreen Place, Avery Place, and Pape Place, which sit amid a landscape of significant elevation changes. Transport through this territory is marked by Ponderosa Way, a historic truck trail that skirts Round Mtn. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous named water sources such as Panther Spring, Emigrant Spring, and Cave Spring. The presence of features like Stone Corral Hollow and Twentymile Hollow suggests a history of livestock management and movement through these canyons. Notable geographical markers like Kingsley Cove and Bear Canyon provide a detailed look at the drainage into Mill Creek and the N Fork Little Mill Cr.
