1965 Map of Bella Vista

About this map

Shasta Lake and the Pit River dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, showing the reservoir at its Spillway Elevation 1065. The transition from the high waters of the north down to the alluvial floor of the south is marked by Backbone Ridge and the winding course of Little Cow Creek. The settlement of Bella Vista serves as a focal point near the southern border, where the terrain levels out into the Swede Plains.
