2018 Map of Whitmore

About this map

The settlement of Whitmore and the nearby community of Fern anchor this survey of the foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Clover Cr and Old Cow Cr, where a complex network of timber and ranch roads such as Smith Lumber Rd, Smith Logging Rd, and Amidon Ranch Rd crisscross the terrain. For genealogists, the map identifies specific local burial sites including Fern Cem and Whitmore Cem, alongside the residential cluster at Little Valley. Significant topographical features like Bullskin Ridge and Gold Hill overlook the watersheds, illustrating the area's transition from higher ridges to the deeper basins of Lawrence Basin and Coal Gulch. The road names themselves, including Stagecoach Dr and Blizzard Roost Rd, hint at the historic transit and climate of this Shasta County region.
