2021 Map of Stone Valley

About this map

Stone Valley and the Hoodoo Hills mark the transition from the rugged foothills of the Inner Coast Ranges to the flat expanse of the Sacramento Valley. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where seasonal waterways like Salt Gulch Cr and French Cr carve deep impressions through the terrain before reaching the lower plains. A prominent human-engineered feature, the Tehama Colusa Canal, cuts a stark linear path across the topography, illustrating the region's reliance on large-scale water management for agriculture in the Central Valley. Local transportation is traced through rural routes such as Clarks Valley Rd and various county roads like Co Rd 35 and Co Rd 48, which serve the scattered ranching and farming operations located along the edges of Hayes Hollow and the surrounding creek beds.
