About this map

Paskenta serves as the primary settlement within this Tehama County landscape, situated where the foothills meet the flats of Nevada Bottom. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainages, including Cat Ridge and High Flat Ridge, which guide the paths of S Fork Elder Cr and Thomes Cr. This area maintains a strong rural character, with many features named for local families and natural landmarks such as Whitlock Butte and Owens Butte.

Resource-rich locations such as Sulphur Springs, Pony Spring, and Uhl Spring suggest the historical importance of water sources in this environment. The presence of Paskenta Cem and roads like Lowrey Cemetery Rd provide points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The road network, including Toomes Camp Rd and Co Rd 631, connects these remote canyons and flats, illustrating the enduring layout of ranching and forest access routes.
