1998 Map of Montgomery Creek

About this map

The Montgomery Creek Rancheria and the settlement of Montgomery Creek serve as central points in this Shasta County landscape, documented during a period of USDA Forest Service revision in the late 1990s. The geography is defined by a complex network of water management and natural features, ranging from the northern Pit River Reservoir to the Carney Ditch and multiple aqueducts feeding into a local powerhouse. Family and community history is visible through landmarks such as the Halcumb Cemetery, Cedar Creek School, and the Mountain Sch. The terrain rises from the Pit river banks toward Hogback Mountain and Round Mountain, while the presence of a Mine Shaft and Gravel Pit indicates the area's geological and industrial utility. This survey captures a rural California community where forest boundaries and water rights intersect.
