2012 Map of Ravendale

About this map

Ravendale stands as a quiet focal point in the high desert of Lassen County, where the infrastructure of ranching and remote transit defines the landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse network of roads that connect the isolated community to its surroundings, including the local Ravendale Airport. The topography is marked by volcanic features like Dill Butte and the distinctive Twin Buttes, which rise above the sagebrush-covered plains. Named routes such as Chicken Ranch Rd, School House Rd, and Mail Route Rd indicate the historical functions of these paths for early settlers and agriculture. Water is a rare commodity in this arid terrain, with the seasonal flow of Cold Spring Cr. appearing as a vital resource for the livestock and wildlife that traverse the basin.
