About this map

Lewiston serves as the focal point of this northern California landscape, situated along a sharp bend of the Trinity River. The river's flow is significantly managed by the Top Dam Spillway and Lewiston Dam, which together form Lewiston Lake within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This water management infrastructure is closely tied to the Trinity River Fish Hatchery, located just downstream from the dam.

The map reveals a history of resource extraction and mountain travel, with the Venecia Mine and Phillips Mine located in the surrounding elevations. To the south, Fawn Lodge and Buckhorn Station mark important stops along the routes through Grass Valley. Historic land use is evident at the Lowden Ranch and a local Cem, while numerous gulches such as Muckawee Gulch and Sawmill Gulch define the steep drainage patterns leading into the Trinity basin.
