About this map

Dredge tailings dominate several creek beds across this terrain, marking the visible scars of industrial mining activity near the Shasta Co Tehama Co line. The settlement of Olinda serves as a central hub, supported by the Happy Valley Sch and the waters of the Olinda Reservoir. Further west, the small community of Cloverdale sits near the Cloverdale Cem, connected by a network of rural routes including Cloverdale Road and Happy Valley Road.

Surface water management is evident through the Happy Valley Canal and irrigation lines crossing Happy Valley. To the north, Clear Creek flows past features like China Gulch, while the southern boundary is defined by the winding path of Cottonwood Creek. The landscape is a transition between managed agriculture and the remnants of resource extraction, with numerous canyons and gulches like Baker Gulch and Salzman Gulch carving through the plateau.
