About this map

Battle Creek carves a deep path through this landscape on the border of Shasta and Tehama counties, where the eastern edge of the Sacramento Valley meets the rising volcanic foothills. The terrain is defined by a series of southwest-flowing drainages including Lack Creek, Ash Creek, and Rancheria Creek, which cross a network of rural routes like Dersch Road and Ash Creek Road.

Water management is central to this area's geography, visible in the winding path of the Coleman Canal as it contours along the slopes above the creek toward the Coleman Forebay. In the northeastern corner, the prominent peak of Black Butte stands as a landmark overlooking the transition from valley floor to more complex topography. This 2015 survey details the modern layout of rural residential development and ranching access, evidenced by numerous named lanes such as Scharsch Lane and Lava Lane.
