1967 Map of Sehorn Creek

About this map

Black Butte Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this 1960s survey, marking a significant hydrological shift at the boundary of Tehama Co and Glenn Co. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel drainages, including Sehorn Creek, Elmore Creek, and Burris Creek, which descend toward the basin of Stony Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the Elmore Cemetery situated in the northern hills near Elmore Hollow Road serves as a vital anchor to the area's early settlement history. The map also reveals an intricate network of primitive transportation routes, with numerous Jeep Trails and ranch roads like Newville Road and Butte Road winding through the hollows. These features, alongside the Gaging Sta on the North Fork Stony Creek, illustrate the region's focus on water management and land use during this era.
