About this map

The Sacramento River and McCloud River valleys define this Northern California landscape during a period of significant recreational development following the construction of Shasta Dam. By the late 1960s, the rising waters of Shasta Lake have created a complex shoreline of inlets and bays, such as Hirz Bay and Packers Bay, while established communities like Lakehead and Delta serve as hubs for the burgeoning Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.

Evidence of the area's industrial past remains visible in the rugged uplands, where the Shasta Iron Mine and Clipper Mine stand as markers of older extraction economies. Transportation routes are dominated by the Southern Pacific railroad and Interstate 5, which parallel the river's path. Local heritage is preserved in smaller landmarks like the Smithson Sch and Pollard Gl Church, alongside several campgrounds and resorts such as Bridge Bay Resort that reflect the mid-century shift toward tourism.
