About this map

Whiskeytown Lake and its surrounding canyons dominate this portion of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and watercourses, including Clear Creek and Kanaka Cr, which have long shaped the local topography and human transit. The settlement of Igo sits at the southern edge, connected to the backcountry by a dense web of historic paths and utility routes.

Evidence of early water management and mining infrastructure is visible through features like the Princess Ditch and the Happy Valley Irrigation Canal. A vast system of specialized trails, such as the Mount Shasta Mine Loop Trail and the Clear Creek Canal Trail, provides a look at how the region's industrial and recreational history overlap. The presence of the Whiskeytown Cem near Paige Bar serves as a reminder of the communities that existed here before the reservoir's creation.
