About this map

Strawberry Valley serves as the geographic heart of this late-twentieth-century survey, dominated by the urban footprint of Mount Shasta and the looming presence of Black Butte to the northwest. The landscape reflects a complex mix of protected wilderness and local infrastructure, with the Shasta Trinity National Forests surrounding the residential and commercial core. Water management is a primary feature of the valley floor, evidenced by the large expanse of Lake Siskiyou and the Box Canyon Dam controlling the Sacramento River.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of smaller named locales such as Upton, Azalea, and Mott. The map records essential community landmarks including the Mt Shasta State Fish Hatchery, the Mercy Medical Center, and the Dunsmuir Municipal Airport at the southern edge. From the heights of Red Fir Flat to the depths of Cascade Gulch, the topography illustrates the transition from high-alpine terrain to the developed valley corridor.
