1964 Map of Olinda

About this map

Happy Valley defines the landscape of this 1964 survey, where the transition from agricultural tracts to resource extraction is visible in the extensive Dredge Tailings along Clear Creek and China Gulch. The settlement of Olinda serves as a local hub, supported by the Happy Valley Sch and the nearby Olinda Reservoir. Further west, Cloverdale and the Cloverdale Cem mark established community centers amidst a network of rural roads like Gas Point Road and Hawthorne Ave. The map captures the industrial legacy of the region through the scars of dredging and mining operations, particularly in Niles Canyon and Spanish Canyon. To the south, the terrain descends toward Cottonwood Creek, which forms the border between Shasta Co and Tehama Co, illustrating how the natural drainage systems shaped local political boundaries.
