2015 Map of City of Mount Shasta

About this map

The Sacramento River headwaters and the massive volcanic profile of Black Butte anchor this 2015 survey of the Mount Shasta region. The landscape is defined by the steep transitions between the Shasta National Forest and the developed corridors of the Union Pacific railroad and Interstate 5. Significant water features such as Siskiyou Lake and the Big Springs aquifer system illustrate the hydraulic character of the area, while smaller settlements like Pioneer, Azalea, and Mott trace the historic path of transit and industry south toward Dunsmuir. Local history is preserved at Mount Shasta Memorial Park, and the map details the modern residential expansion into the hills via Upton Rd and Siskiyou Lake Blvd. From the high elevations of Rainbow Ridge to the depths of Box Canyon, the map provides a contemporary record of this alpine community's infrastructure and natural surroundings.
