1956 Map of Shasta Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Shasta Dam and the massive impoundment of Lake Shasta dominate this 1950s survey, illustrating the transformative impact of mid-century water infrastructure on the Northern California landscape. The engineering effort required to manage the Sacramento River is visible through the intricate network of water tanks, a sewage disposal site, and the Vista House overlooking the reservoir. In the shadow of the dam, the planned housing of Government Camp and growing communities like Summit City and Central Valley reflect the era's residential expansion.
