About this map

Fall River Valley serves as a centerpiece for this region, defined by an intricate network of waterways and managed wetlands. The confluence of the Fall River and the Pit River near the settlement of Fall River Mills highlights the area's agricultural and hydrological history, including engineered features like the Lee Drainage Canal and McArthur Diversion Canal. These systems support local ranching, such as the Smith Ranch, while reclaiming portions of the McArthur Swamp and Hollenbeak Swamp.

Elevated terrain including Saddle Mtn and Haney Mtn overlooks the valley floor, while the northeast corner reaches into the Shasta National Forest. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Fall River Cem and Pine Grove Cem, as well as the community centers of McArthur and Glenburn. Infrastructure including the Fall River Mills Airport and numerous trails like the Spatter Cone Loop Trl further illustrate the modern landscape's connection to its natural volcanic and riverine environment.
