About this map

The Pit River and its meandering tributaries dominate the landscape of the northern Fall River Valley as it appeared in the mid-1990s. The settlement of Pittville sits near the river's edge, marked by a Gaging Station and adjacent irrigation infrastructure like the Lee Ranch and various canals. This area, straddling the Shasta and Lassen county line, reveals a transition from the agricultural valley floor to the forested slopes of the Shasta National Forest.

Evidence of historical water management is scattered throughout the terrain, from the Toll House Reservoir in the northeast to the Hot Springs found near the southern river bend. The presence of a lone Grave north of Pittville and family-named landmarks like Vestals Swamp provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the early habitation of this pocket of the Intermountain Region.
