1990 Map of Roaring Creek

About this map

The Pit River corridor and its industrial development define this region of the Shasta National Forest during the late twentieth century. Hydroelectric infrastructure is prominent, including the James B Black Powerhouse, a Surge Chamber, and the Pit 6 Dam, which regulates the Pit River Reservoir. Amidst this engineered landscape, the Roaring Creek Rancheria and small settlements like Wengler and Richardson persist along the creek drainages. The map reveals the interplay between modern power generation and long-standing terrain features such as Flat Woods and The Cove. Genealogists may find interest in the scattered rural landmarks, including a Cem near Roaring Creek and the natural drop of Hatchet Creek Falls at the southern edge of the survey.
