About this map

Redding and the community of Enterprise define this landscape as it transitioned through the mid-20th century. The Sacramento River flows through the western edge of the quadrangle, bordering the Riverview Country Club and the rich agricultural lands of Churn Creek Bottom. This era shows a significant expansion of local infrastructure, documented through numerous educational institutions including Shasta Junior College, Enterprise High Sch, and Columbia Sch.

Industry and transport are represented by the extensive Redding Municipal Airport on the Stillwater Plains and several Gravel Pits along the river. A network of creeks, including Churn Creek, Stillwater Creek, and Clover Creek, provides a natural framework for the developing residential and commercial corridors. Notable local landmarks such as the KSDA Radio Towers, Lassen Speedway, and the Lawn Crest Memorial Cemetery offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical growth of the area.
