About this map

Wilbur Springs sits at the heart of this landscape where the Colusa and Lake County boundary threads through the northern Coast Ranges. The area is defined by a dense network of water features and thermal indicators, including Sulphur Creek, East Fork Sulphur Creek, and numerous named springs such as Deadshot, Cherry, and Grizzly Spring. This drainage pattern, carved into high points like Cold Spring Mountain and Coyote Peak, highlights a terrain historically utilized for its mineral waters and grazing potential.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with Bear Valley Road and Bartlett Springs Road providing access to remote valleys and flats. Notable landmarks such as Schoolhouse Canyon and Stemple Canyon hint at earlier rural settlement patterns, while topographic features like Walker Ridge and the Oat Hills dominate the horizon. The presence of Deadshot Flat and Widow Flats suggests the few level areas available for habitation amidst the surrounding canyons.
