2021 Map of Rosewood

About this map

Rosewood sits in the northern reaches of the Sacramento Valley, where the alluvial plains begin to break into a dense network of steep drainages. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic character, dominated by the Middle Fork Cottonwood Creek and a multitude of deeply incised gulches, including Poverty Gulch, North Fork Devils Gulch, and South Fork China Gulch. This 2021 topographic perspective captures the area's rural transition, with the settlement and its associated Rosewood Cem serving as the primary human landmark amidst a terrain largely shaped by water action and seasonal runoff.
