About this map

The Sacramento River corridor north of Redding is defined by the massive infrastructure and managed waters of the mid-twentieth century. This survey details the landscape surrounding Shasta Lake, where the Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery sits below the dam near the historic site of Coram. The terrain transitions from the protected timberlands of the Shasta National Forest to the industrial and residential clusters of Shasta Lake and Central Valley.

Old mining influences and early transport routes are still evident through labels like Walker Mine Rd and the Rail Trl following the riverbanks. Settlements such as Matheson, Motion, and Keswick illustrate the historical settlement patterns that developed along the canyon floor before the expansion of modern reservoirs. The map also traces various drainages including Churn Creek and Spring Creek, providing a contemporary look at the topography of this vital California watershed.
