2012 Map of Burney

About this map

Burney serves as the primary hub in this corner of Shasta County, situated where the high desert meets the forested slopes of the southern Cascades. The settlement pattern is defined by the valley floors, with concentrated residential development in town and at Johnson Park, contrasting with the more isolated Black Ranch and Goose Valley Ranch to the west. Burney Cr flows northward through the heart of the community, eventually joining the Pit River at the northern edge of the map. The landscape is structured by significant terrain features, including Lookout Mountain and Burney Spring Mountain, which oversee a network of forest routes and ranch roads. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Burney Cem south of the main town center, near the intersection of Cornaz Dr and Sugar Pine St. The map details the transition from the irrigated pastures of Goose Valley to the heavily timbered tracts managed by the Forest Service.
