About this map

Shasta Lake dominates this rugged portion of northern California, shown as the reservoir reached into the canyons of the Shasta National Forest in the late 1980s. The map centers on the winding Pit River Arm, where the water transitions into the steep, creek-cut terrain of the Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity National Recreation Area. High points like Devils Rock and Sugarloaf overlook a landscape marked by deep gulches and numerous drainage systems, including McCandless Gulch and Ripgut Creek.

Recreational and administrative outposts are scattered throughout the hills, including the Squaw Creek FS Station and campgrounds like Arbuckle Flat Campground and Chirpchatter Campground. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the form of a Quarry and a Gaging Station along the Pit River. The map provides a detailed record of the shoreline and 4WD access trails as they existed before subsequent decades of landscape change.
