About this map

Wilbur Springs serves as the focal point of this Northern California landscape, where numerous natural mineral sources define the local geography. The area is marked by a high density of named springs, including Eaton Springs, Deadshot Spring, Cherry Spring, and Blank Spring, indicating a region long valued for its hydrological features. These water sources feed into a complex network of drainages such as Sulphur Cr and Freshwater Cr, which carve through the distinct ridges and canyons that dominate the terrain.

Evidence of early rural development and local landmarks are found throughout the hills, from Schoolhouse Canyon and Glory Hole Gulch to the prominently named Walker Ridge and Blue Ridge. The road network, featuring Bartlett Springs Rd and Wilbur Springs Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting remote flats like Malaney Flat and Destanella Flat. This survey provides a clear view of the Lake County backcountry, preserving the specific locations of family-named features like Gibson Hill and Til Jones Spring.
