2021 Map of Manton

About this map

Manton sits as a central settlement in this high-elevation landscape where water management and ranching define the terrain. The community is anchored by the Manton Cem and infrastructure like Manton School Rd, illustrating a longstanding rural presence. The landscape is bisected by the Shasta Co and Tehama Co boundary, a line that crosses several sophisticated water systems including the Cross Country Ditch and the Union Canal. These man-made channels divert flow from the complex network of the N Fork Battle Cr and S Fork Battle Cr, which have carved deep drainages like Devils Gulch and Initial Gulch. High points such as Digger Butte and the extensive Blue Ridge overlook a patchwork of private roads and timbered flats like Long Hay Flat, reflecting the region's intersection of natural resources and early 21st-century habitation.
