About this map

The Shasta Dam dominates this 1984 survey, holding back the massive waters of Shasta Lake where the McCloud River, Pit River, and Sacramento River converge. This industrial and recreational landscape is defined by massive water management projects and a legacy of hard-rock mining. To the west, the Whiskeytown Unit and the Trinity National Forest provide a stark contrast to the growing urban centers of Redding, Enterprise, and Central Valley.

Evidence of the region's mineral wealth is scattered across the terrain, notably at the Iron Mountain Mine, Keystone Mine, and Mammoth Mine. The transportation network is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad and Interstate 5, which follows the Sacramento valley north. Smaller, established communities like Weaverville, Millville, and Palo Cedro appear alongside geographic landmarks such as Bully Choop Mtn and Weaver Bally, illustrating the settlement patterns between the high Trinity Alps and the valley floor.
