2015 Map of Burney

About this map

Burney sits at the southern edge of this Shasta County landscape, serving as a gateway between the lowlands of Goose Valley and the high volcanic peaks of the Cascade Range. The map illustrates a complex transition from the agricultural flats along Goose Creek to the timbered heights of Lookout Mtn and Burney Spring Mtn. This area is a critical intersection of public lands, where the boundaries of the Shasta National Forest meet the Lassen National Forest. Evidence of regional infrastructure is found along the Pit River in the north, specifically at the Pit No 1 Powerhouse. Modern residential patterns are visible in the layout of Johnson Park and the centralized hub of Burney, including local landmarks like the Burney Cemetery. To the northeast, the crossroads at Four Corners marks the route toward more remote northern terrain.
