2012 Map of Schoepp Flat

About this map

Schoepp Flat dominates this high plains landscape of Butte County, where the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent watercourses. Drainage patterns include the winding Willow Cr and Sand Ct, which flow alongside smaller tributaries such as S Double R Cr and Butte Cr. The presence of the North Lateral canal suggests the management of water for agricultural or ranching purposes in an otherwise arid environment. Settlement is sparse, with human activity primarily represented by rural corridors like Old Twilight Rd and Falzerano Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern ranching character of the region, where wide-open rangeland is punctuated by local roads and vital creek beds.
