1994 Map of Paradise East

About this map

Paradise and Magalia form the heart of this landscape, where residential development transitions into the steep canyons and timberlands of the Lassen National Forest. The map captures the area just as the community of Paradise Pines was expanding northward along the Skyway. This territory is defined by its industrial history and water management, featuring several historic extraction sites such as the Madre de Oro Mine and Cory Mine. The complex water system, including the Magalia Reservoir and Paradise Lake, reflects the ongoing necessity of moving water through the Sierra Nevada foothills. Further east, the rugged terrain around the Feather River and Sawmill Peak remains largely undeveloped forest land, with landmarks like Beansoup Bar and Merchants Bar marking the remote riverbanks. This 1994 revision highlights the intersection of late-century suburban growth with the enduring legacy of California's gold-era mining and canyon infrastructure.
