1990 Map of Fall River Mills

About this map

The confluence of the Fall River and Pit River defines the agricultural and industrial landscape of this northeastern California valley. In 1990, the towns of Fall River Mills and McArthur serve as central hubs, connected by a network of levees and irrigation systems including the Mc Arthur Diversion Canal and Shelly Ditch. The presence of the Pit 1 Dam and Pit 1 Intake reflects the importance of water management and power generation to the local economy. To the north, the terrain transitions into the distinct volcanic features of Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, where Crystal Springs and Horr Pond sit at the edge of vast lava flows.
