About this map

Shasta Valley serves as the backdrop for this study of Northern California water systems and land divisions. The settlement of Big Springs sits near a complex network of hydrologic features, including Big Springs Lake and the Shasta River. This landscape is defined by its unusual drainage patterns, characterized by features such as Hole in the Ground Cr and the nearby Hole in the Ground Lake, which illustrate the volcanic geology of the region.

The residential expansion north of Lake Shastina is evidenced by a dense grid of named roads like Wildhorse Rd and Hidden Valley Rd, contrasting with the more open terrain of Juniper Flat. Researchers can trace the path of McCloud Slough or explore family-named landmarks such as Seldom Seen Ranch Rd. This 2018 survey provides a modern view of the area's rural character and significant water resources.
