1951 Map of Red Bluff West

About this map

The western outskirts of Red Bluff and the surrounding ranch lands of Tehama County are captured here just after the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Reeds Creek and Dibble Creek, which flow eastward toward the Sacramento River. This survey illustrates the early aviation and social infrastructure of the region, featuring Bidwell Airport and the nearby County Hospital. Educational centers like Marion Sch and Lincoln Sch serve the rural population, while the Southern Pacific railroad corridor cuts across the northeastern corner. In the southern reaches, the distinctive La Barranca Colorada sits near the banks of Red Bank Creek, providing a clear look at the area's natural landmarks and early property divisions before modern suburban expansion transformed the outskirts of the county seat.
