1995 Map of Burney Falls

About this map

Lake Britton and the Pit River dominate this pocket of the southern Cascades, where hydroelectric infrastructure and recreation meet. The landscape is defined by the Pit No 3 Dam and the surrounding Shasta National Forest, which includes the landmark Mc Arthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. Long-standing settlement patterns are visible at Cayton and the nearby Cayton Siding, while outdoor life is represented by Clark Creek Lodge and Camp Shasta. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Britton Cem and Pioneer Cem near the reservoir. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the varied terrain of Delucca Ridge and Bird Flat, following the transition from deep river canyons to the high timbered slopes of the national forest boundary.
