1979 Map of Canyondam

About this map

Canyondam and the southern shores of Lake Almanor anchor this landscape, where the waters meet the industrial legacy of the Northern Sierra. The map illustrates a transitional zone where recreation and extraction coexist, featuring campgrounds like Rocky Point Campground alongside numerous historical mining operations. The Western Pacific railroad tracks follow the shoreline and cut through the rugged interior, supporting the area's timber and mineral economy.
