About this map

Hillcrest and Montgomery Creek anchor this late-1990s survey of the Shasta County uplands, where the landscape is defined by its hydroelectric and water management infrastructure. The Pit River Reservoir dominates the northern reaches, supported by a network of conduits including the Carney Ditch and an extensive Aqueduct system that feeds toward several power generation sites. Local life is centered around institutions such as the Cedar Creek School, Mountain Sch, and the Montgomery Creek Rancheria.

The terrain is marked by dramatic water features like Lion Slide Falls and Montgomery Creek Falls, while human impact on the land is evident in the Mine Shaft and Gravel Pit markings. The map also captures the Shasta Trinity National Forest boundary and the Mt Diablo Meridian, providing a detailed look at the interface between public forest lands and settled ranching or residential areas like the Mobile Home Park.
