About this map

Wilbur Springs serves as the primary landmark in this interior portion of the Coast Ranges, where the boundary between Lake and Colusa counties follows the high crest of Walker Ridge. The landscape is defined by a complex network of springs and canyons, such as Deadshot Spring and Schoolhouse Canyon, which historically provided the essential water resources for small-scale ranching and early mineral hot springs tourism.

Drainage patterns are dominated by Sulphur Creek and Bear Creek, carving through prominent terrain features like Coyote Peak and the Oat Hills. The map shows a transition from high ridges to localized flats, including Widow Flats and Deadshot Flat. These named levels and basins suggest the scattered footprints of early settlers who navigated the winding Bear Valley Road and Bartlett Springs Road during the region's development.
