About this map

Mountain Gate serves as a central hub in this landscape north of Redding, where the foothills of the Shasta National Forest meet the expanding residential corridors of the Sacramento Valley. The map documents a dense network of suburban development and rural homesteads, evidenced by the proliferation of named roads like Wonderland Blvd and Old Oregon Trl. Local commerce and historical waypoints are marked by nodes such as Portal Inn, Tunnel Inn, and McColl, situated along the primary transportation artery leading toward Shasta Lake.

The southern portion of the map transitions into the academic and civic environments of Shasta College and the community of Central Valley. The varied terrain includes the prominent Miller Buttes and the distinctively named Stinking Canyon to the east, while the west is defined by the drainage of Churn Creek. This 2015 survey provides a modern baseline for tracing the growth of Shasta Lake and the northern reaches of Shasta County.
