1946 Map of Lamoine

About this map

The Sacramento River and the McCloud River converge within the Shasta National Forest in this mid-1940s survey, showing the landscape just as the waters of the newly formed Shasta Reservoir were beginning to reshape the canyon. Along the river corridor, the Southern Pacific railroad and Route 99 serve as the primary arteries for mountain settlements like Lamoine, Delta, and Lakehead. The map records a transition from the old stage and postal stops of the mining era, such as Bayles P O and Loftus P O, to a geography increasingly defined by water management and recreation.
