1957 Map of Lamoine

About this map

The sprawling reservoir of Shasta Lake dominates this mid-century survey of the California northern mountains, where the filling of the reservoir transformed the landscape into a labyrinth of bays and inlets. Along the narrow northern corridor, the Southern Pacific railroad and U.S. 99 track the winding Sacramento River through early settlements like Lamoine and Vollmers. This era represents a period of significant transition, where historic mining and timber outposts met the new economy of recreation at the Upper Salt Creek Resort and Lower Salt Creek Resort.
