About this map

Deer Creek and a network of irrigation ditches define the northern agricultural landscape of this 1950s Tehama and Butte County borderland. The area is characterized by a transition from flat lowland farming to the rising foothills, where complex drainage systems like Singer Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and West Fork Rock Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of rural infrastructure is prominent, from the U S Auxiliary Airfield in the west to the Live Oak School situated near the Mt Diablo Meridian. The presence of established holdings such as Stephens Ranch and Bell Ranch reflects the mid-century ranching and agrarian economy of the region. Local history researchers will find clear markers of early settlement, including the Carter Cemetery and various numbered benchmarks that trace the development of roads like Lassen Road.
