2018 Map of Shasta Dam

About this map

The monumental Shasta Dam anchors this landscape, holding back the waters of Shasta Lake at the northern reaches of the Central Valley. Below the dam, the Sacramento River flows south toward Redding, winding past industrial sites and historical settlement points. Along its banks, the Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery and several rail-side locations such as Coram, Motion, and Matheson reflect the area's long association with resource management and transport. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and gulches within the Shasta National Forest, including heights like Chamise Peak and Copley Mtn. To the southeast, the growing residential footprints of Newtown, Silverthorn, and Buckeye emerge, while the Spring Creek Reservoir and the Sacramento River Trail illustrate the contemporary balance between water infrastructure and recreational access.
