1957 Map of Project City

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Shasta Lake and the northern reaches of the Sacramento Valley define this 1950s landscape, captured just as mid-century infrastructure began to reshape the region. The settlements of Project City and Central Valley serve as the primary residential hubs, while smaller locales like Mountain Gate, McColl, and the Portal Inn are clustered along the critical transportation corridor formed by the Southern Pacific railroad and early highways. The 1969 photorevisions, marked in purple, illustrate the rapid development of Shasta Junior College and the expanding road network near Newtown.
