1905 Map of Tehama

About this map

Red Bluff and the nearby town of Tehama anchor this 1903 survey of the northern Sacramento Valley, where the Sacramento River carves through a landscape of expansive plains and deeply etched gulches. The geography is defined by the heavy presence of water management and transit infrastructure at the turn of the century, including a flume and millrace system feeding local industry. The Southern Pacific railroad, following the Shasta Route, parallels the river, connecting the smaller settlements of Proberta, Rawson, and Sesma.
