1990 Map of Pondosa

About this map

The community of Pondosa sits near the heart of this terrain, where the northern timberlands meet the high flats of the Shasta National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by forestry and high-elevation water management, featuring the Pondosa Fire Control Sta and the Pondosa Dam along Pole Creek. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade winding through the center of the sheet suggests a history of logging transport that once moved timber toward larger rail networks. Moving south, the terrain opens into several named flats and meadows, including Dickson Flat and Bosworth Meadow, while the Siskiyou Co Shasta Co line cuts through the eastern portion of the survey. Isolated landmarks like Harlow Place and Florin Crossing provide specific points of interest for local historians tracking early settlement and stream-crossing sites in the region.
