2011 Map of Tyler Peak

About this map

Tyler Peak and Saddle Mountain dominate this Butte County landscape, which is defined by a series of deep drainage systems that flow into the larger valley. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as Kyle Spring and the converging paths of Middle Fork Kyle Canyon and South Fork Kyle Canyon in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Human infrastructure is minimal in this high-elevation area, represented primarily by Mahogany Butte Rd, which provides access through the eastern canyons. The western side of the map reveals the upper reaches of Black Canyon, Middle Canyon, and East Canyon, showing a repetitive geological pattern of parallel drainages. This 2011 survey documents a relatively untouched mountain environment where water sources like South Creek and Camp Creek are the primary points of interest for those navigating the high country.
