About this map

Thomes Creek flows along the southern edge of this landscape, anchoring a localized industrial and civic hub where the Crane Sawmill and its associated burner once operated. The map documents a transition from the agricultural flats near Rouse Gardens to the higher elevations of High Flat Ridge and Gordon Ridge. Between these heights, numerous drainages like Elder Creek and McCarty Creek carve through the terrain, punctuated by named summits such as Whitlock Butte and Owens Butte.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Paskenta Cemetery and the Lowrey Sch to the north along Lowrey Road. The concentration of infrastructure near the creek, including a Work Center, Gaging Station, and Athletic Field, reflects the organized land management of the mid-1990s. The arrangement of Nevada Bottom and Maupin Flat suggests a long history of cattle grazing and small-scale timber operations defined by the seasonal flow of the creeks.
