DeGcri, Ptirtssl of Environmental Setting The Stilson Canyon topography ranges from 270 feet at the corner of Humbolt, Stilson Canyon and Bruce Roads to 600+ .feet on the ridges 'overlooking the Canyon. The Canyon is drained by Little Chico Creek. Geology ib the area is of undifferentiated pliocene and pl;,eistocenit� non -marine sediments. Docks _ of this group incfude cache and the Tphama and Tuscan flows. Many of these formations are only water bearing in- part. (APPENDIX'S B & C) Before this century for Canyon was used by the local Amerind population for home sites and hunting.
