About this map

Pittville serves as the focal point of this rural California landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Pit River. The terrain transitions from the broad agricultural expanse of the Fall River Valley in the west to the higher, forested elevations of the Shasta National Forest in the north. The water management and natural hydrology of the area are well-documented, featuring the Lee Drainage Canal and the cascade at Young Falls, alongside multiple reservoirs such as Crum Reservoir and Toll House Reservoir.

Evidence of local history and land use is found in labels for Hot Springs and the irrigation infrastructure that supports the valley. Surveyors recorded various landmarks like Taylor Knob and the quiet reach of Sleepy Hollow, alongside industrial features such as a Gaging Station and Storage Bins. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Shasta and Lassen counties, which cuts through the rugged creek drainages and flats.
