About this map

O'Brien sits as the central settlement in this late-twentieth-century study of the Northern California landscape, surrounded by the intricate fingers of Shasta Lake. This area, managed within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, shows a terrain defined by high peaks like Haydock Peak and O'Brien Mountain that plunge into the water at inlets such as Salt Creek Inlet and the Mc Cloud River Arm.

The complex shoreline is heavily developed for recreation, evidenced by numerous facilities like Packers Bay Marina, Holiday Harbor Resort, and a Bridge Bay Resort Seaplane Base. Notable landmarks include the Lake Shasta Caverns on the eastern shore and the significant infrastructure of the Pit River Bridge to the south. The map documents the high-water line and various forest service sites, including Oak Grove Campground and Hirz Bay Campground, illustrating the transition of this region into a premier destination for water-based activities.
