About this map

The Sacramento River carves a deep path through Shasta County in this 2021 record, flowing south from the massive Shasta Lake reservoir toward the growing northern edge of Redding. The landscape is defined by the legacy of resource management and early industrial sites, featuring the Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery and several settlements along the river's banks. Former mining and rail outposts like Matheson and Coram are visible alongside the old Rail Trail, reflecting the area's transition from an extractive economy to one centered on water infrastructure and recreation.

To the east, the residential expansion of Shasta Lake and Silverthorn meets the rolling foothills near Quartz Hill. Traditional community sites remain central to the geography, including the Central Valley Cem and the historic district of Buckeye. High points such as Chamise Peak and Copley Mtn tower over the Shasta National Forest, while water bodies like the Spring Creek Reservoir highlight the complex irrigation and power network of the region.
