1998 Map of Shasta Dam

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Shasta Dam anchors this landscape, holding back the waters of Shasta Lake at the northern edge of the Sacramento River canyon. In the late 20th century, the region shows a dense layering of industrial history and recreation, with the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area encompassing several earlier mining and transport sites. The terrain is marked by numerous legacy operations such as the Uncle Sam Mine, Spreadeagle Mine, and the Balaklala Mine, which are concentrated in the hills west of the river. Downstream, the City of Shasta Lake and surrounding communities like Churntown, Newtown, and Matheson reflect the residential and utility footprint of the area. Educational landmarks including Minnesota Spring Creek Sch and Toyon Sch indicate the established local settlements that persisted alongside the massive hydroelectric and water management infrastructure of the Central Valley Project.
