2018 Map of Tuscan Buttes NE

About this map

Battle Creek meanders across the southern landscape of this terrain, marking the boundary between Shasta and Tehama counties. The area is defined by the hydraulic infrastructure of the Coleman Canal and the Coleman Forebay, features linked to regional water management and fishery operations along the canyon. To the east, the volcanic profile of Black Butte stands as a prominent landmark above a network of drainages including Rancheria Creek and Ash Creek. The transition from the higher northern slopes toward the Sacramento Valley floor is evident through the convergence of smaller streams like Lack Creek and Spring Branch. This 2018 survey documents a rural landscape where local routes like Dersch Road and Coleman Fish Hatchery Road provide access to the rugged foothills at the edge of the Central Valley.
