About this map

The settlement of Rumsey sits along the banks of Cache Cr in this northern California canyon landscape. Located in northwestern Yolo County, the area is defined by a series of dramatic geographic markers including the Blue Cliffs and several deeply cut drainages such as Benjamin Canyon and Reiff Canyon. The map reveals a network of rural routes, including Rumsey Canyon Rd and Co Rd 41, which follow the natural contours of the watercourses.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain here, as evidenced by a multitude of named creeks. These include Petroleum Cr, Whisky Cr, Elk Cr, and Little Buckeye Cr. The presence of such specifically named features like Petroleum Cr suggests a history of local resource discovery or specific topographic characteristics that have long informed the naming conventions of this pocket of the Coast Ranges.
