About this map

The Sacramento River flows along the western edge of this landscape, marking a sharp boundary between the established city of Redding and the expanding suburbs of Enterprise. This mid-century survey document captures a period of significant growth, with purple-tinted areas illustrating the rapid residential and educational development east of the river. The map is densely populated with neighborhood institutions, from Enterprise High Sch to numerous primary schools like Mistletoe Sch and Alta Mesa Sch, reflecting the postwar family boom in Shasta County.

Industrial and leisure features are scattered throughout the Stillwater Plains, including several Gravel Pits and the Lassen Speedway. The Redding Municipal Airport anchor the southern plains, while the historic San Buenaventura Grant Bdy cuts diagonally across the terrain, a reminder of California's older land tenure systems. Notable landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and KSDA Radio Towers provide a clear view of the mid-twentieth-century cultural and infrastructure footprint.
