2015 Map of Ravendale

About this map

Ravendale sits as a central hub in this high-desert landscape of Lassen County, where the expansive Madeline Plains meet a series of prominent volcanic landforms. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the Ravendale Airport and a network of arterial roads like School House Rd and Chicken Ranch Rd, which suggest a history of ranching and rural education. To the north, Juniper Ridge rises above the plains, while the solitary heights of Dill Butte and the dual peaks of Twin Buttes punctuate the horizon to the east. Water is a scarce and vital element here, represented by the ephemeral Cold Spring Cr. The map preserves names of functional significance to local residents, including Mail Route Rd and Horse Lake Rd, reflecting the traditional logistics of this high-plateau region.
