About this map

Shasta Lake anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, its shoreline defining the boundary between the Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity National Recreation Area and the Shasta Trinity National Forest. To the south, the communities of Project City, Central Valley, and the newly incorporated City of Shasta Lake showcase the mid-to-late 20th-century growth pattern of the region. This 1998 revision highlights a complex water management and transportation corridor, with Interstate 5 threading past roadside landmarks like Tunnel Inn and Portal Inn while crossing several forks of Stillwater Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial sites at Lilienthal Cem and Houston Cem, or trace the development of local education from the Bass School site to the larger Central Valley HS and Shasta Junior College campus. Industrial remnants such as the Black Diamond Mine and various gravel pits near the Stillwater West Fork provide clues to the extractive activities that once drove the local economy alongside the massive irrigation infrastructure of the Charles Smith Irrigation 1224 Dam.
