1952 Map of Red Bank

About this map

Red Bluff serves as the eastern anchor for this mid-century survey, where the Southern Pacific tracks and the Red Bluff Airport facilitate transit along the valley floor. West of the town, the landscape transitions into a network of seasonal drainages and cattle country, defined by features like La Barranca Colorada and the winding course of Red Bank Creek. Small rural communities and stops such as Blossom and Red Bank are connected by a grid of named local routes, including Reeds Creek Road and Paskenta Road. Educational life is documented through scattered landmarks like Marion Sch and Oat Creek Sch, while the Montgomery Lookout stands watch over the higher elevations to the west. This map preserves the mid-century layout of Tehama County before modern infrastructure reshaped the rural sections.
