About this map

The northern reaches of the Fall River Valley converge with the steep timberlands of the Shasta National Forest on this mid-1990s survey. The small settlement of Dana sits near the headwaters of the Fall River, while the Dana Cem remains as a focal point for genealogical research in this rural pocket of Shasta County. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring several high-elevation impoundments such as Coyote Flat Reservoir, Soldier Mountain Reservoir, and Warner Grade Reservoir.

To the south, the terrain drops dramatically toward the Pit River and Lake Britton Spillway 2733, where the Pacific railroad line skirts the riverbank. This map captures the region's transition from the agriculture-heavy floor of Cayton Valley to the volcanic heights of Soldier Mountain and Fort Mountain. Scattered markers of local industry and utility are evident, from the Cinder Pit near Arknight Flat to the long pipeline corridor crossing the eastern meadows near Glenburn.
