About this map

Burney serves as the primary hub for this section of Shasta County, situated at the junction where Ca 299 meets a network of timber and forest roads. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological complex of Goose Valley, a broad wetland area fed by Burney Creek and Goose Cr. To the north, the Pit River cuts through the terrain near Burney Spring Mtn, marking a dramatic shift from the valley floor to the surrounding highlands.

The administrative intersection of the Shasta National Forest and Lassen National Forest creates a patchwork of protected lands that frame the residential developments of Johnson Park and the central township. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Burney Cem near the town center, while geographical landmarks like Long Valley Mtn and Lookout Mtn provide the vertical relief that has long dictated the layout of local ranching and logging infrastructure.
