About this map

The Dredge Tailings along the northern and central drainage basins reveal a landscape significantly altered by historical mining activity. Large-scale earthmoving is evident along Clear Creek and China Gulch, where the residual mounds of the dredging era dominate the local topography. This industrial legacy sits alongside the agricultural and residential development of Happy Valley, which is defined by an orderly grid of local thoroughfares like Irrigation Ave and Hawthorne Ave.

Community life in the mid-1960s centered around the small settlements of Olinda and Cloverdale. Cultural landmarks such as the Happy Valley Sch and Cloverdale Cem provide essential data points for local history, while the Olinda Reservoir serves as a key water management feature for the region. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Shasta Co Tehama Co line, where the winding path of Cottonwood Creek forms the natural boundary between the two counties.
