1986 Map of City of Mount Shasta

About this map

Strawberry Valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-1980s survey, where the expanding Corporation Boundary of the city of Mount Shasta meets the dense timberlands of the Shasta National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massive volcanic profile of Black Butte and the Black Butte Summit to the north, while the upper reaches of the Sacramento River flow through the southern half of the quadrangle. The map documents significant infrastructure and recreational development, including the Box Canyon Dam which impounds the waters of Lake Siskiyou. Distinctive local landmarks such as the Mt Shasta State Fish Hatchery and several springs, including Ney Springs and Big Springs, illustrate the area's complex water network. Small settlements and industrial sites like Mott, Pioneer, and various Borrow Pits appear along the rail and road corridors, providing a detailed look at the region's mid-century economic and residential footprint.
