1954 Map of Ravendale

About this map

Ravendale and Termo serve as the primary hubs on the high desert of Lassen County, where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the landscape. The mid-century map reveals a series of isolated family operations like the Harry Marr Ranch and Mendiboure Ranch, alongside civic infrastructure such as the Butte Sch and a local Cem. The cattle and sheep economy is reflected in the numerous water sources, including Big Springs and Deer Spr, which were essential for sustaining life on the expansive Made Line Plains.
