1995 Map of Panther Spring

About this map

Ishi Wilderness and the Tehama Wildlife Area dominate this section of the northern Sierra foothills, revealing a landscape defined by deep canyons and high volcanic plateaus. The map documents early land use through named ranching sites and family homesteads such as Peligreen Place, Avery Place, and Pape Place. These locations, alongside Wild Horse Corral and Stone Corral, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and movement across the ridges. Water sources are critical here, with numerous labeled points like Tail Holt Spring and Two Barrel Spring providing relief across Indian Ridge and Horseback Ridge. The drainage patterns of North Fork Antelope Creek and Boat Gunwale Creek illustrate the challenging geography that historically limited settlement to specific flats and crossings like Cedar Crossing.
