About this map

Elmore Cemetery sits above the winding drainages that define this portion of the Sacramento Valley foothills during the mid-1960s. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Sehorn Creek, Elmore Creek, and Parker Creek, which carve through the terrain toward the southern focal point of Black Butte Lake. This reservoir, showing a spillway elevation of 474 feet, dominates the southeastern quadrant where the Tehama and Glenn County line bisects the water.

Local infrastructure of the era is represented by rural connectors like Newville Road and Stony Road, which follow the natural contours near the North Fork Stony Creek. Topographic details reveal numerous named hollows and springs, such as Masterson Hollow and Jackson Spring, indicating a landscape historically utilized for ranching and water management. A Gaging Station on the creek further underscores the importance of monitoring water flow in this semi-arid environment.
