2015 Map of Lamoine

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a deep path through the Shasta National Forest in this 2015 study, documenting a string of settlements tied to the river and the interstate corridor. From Pollard Flat in the north down to Lakeshore, the map reveals a landscape where steep ridges like Mosquito Creek Ridge and French Ridge overlook narrow valleys and the northern reaches of Shasta Lake. This modern survey is particularly useful for tracking the contemporary layout of small communities such as Lamoine, Delta, and Vollmers, as well as the intricate drainage network of creeks like Slate Cr and Dog Cr. The intersection of industrial-era place names, such as Coal Pit Gulch and Dam Gulch, with modern recreation hubs at Lakehead and Riverview illustrates the area's transition from resource extraction to its role as a gateway for the surrounding wilderness.
