2018 Map of Burney

About this map

Burney sits at the junction of forested mountain slopes and the broad, open expanse of Goose Valley, illustrating the intersection of timberlands and agricultural valley floors in Shasta County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the peaks of Burney Spring Mtn and Lookout Mtn down into the riparian corridors of Burney Creek and the Pit River. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valley edges, with the community of Johnson Park appearing to the northeast and the residential grid of Burney anchored by the Burney Cem. This area serves as a gateway between two major protected lands, with the Shasta National Forest bordering the north and the Lassen National Forest encompassing much of the southern terrain. Local landmarks like Haynes Flat and Aubrey Ridge provide further geographic context to this late 2010s survey of the Cascade foothills.
