2021 Map of West of Gerber

About this map

The western edge of the Sacramento Valley in Tehama County is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages that carve through the landscape toward the east. Major watercourses like Red Bank Creek in the north and Elder Cr further south illustrate the hydrological patterns that have shaped land use and road development in this part of California. The modern road network follows these natural contours, with routes like Rancho Tehama Rd and Paskenta Rd providing vital links between rural properties and neighboring communities. Smaller seasonal streams, including Oat Cr, Willow Cr, and McClure Cr, further fragment the terrain, creating the undulating topography characteristic of the valley's foothills. This survey offers a detailed view of the township and range divisions, showing the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on local property boundaries and access roads.
