About this map

The Sacramento River begins its southward journey through the shadow of Black Butte in this modern topographic survey. The high-altitude landscape is centered on the city of Mount Shasta, where the local economy and geography are defined by the convergence of the volcanic terrain and the headwaters of major waterways. Significant landmarks include the Mount Shasta State Fish Hatchery and Siskiyou Lake, created by the damming of Wagon Cr and Deer Cr.

Transit and industry patterns follow the descent toward the south, with the Dunsmuir Municipal Airport and the rail line passing through small settlements like Pioneer, Azalea, and Mott. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate canyon systems of Big Canyon and Box Canyon, alongside historical sites like Ney Springs and Faery Falls. The map also captures the recreational footprint of the region, from the McBride Springs Campground to the extensive road network leading toward the mountain summits.
