1954 Map of Shasta

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Mt Shasta dominates this mid-century survey, its frozen landscape detailed through the massive Whitney Glacier, Hotlum Glacier, and Bolam Glacier systems. The mountain's lower slopes reveal the infrastructure of high-altitude exploration and early 20th-century commerce, from the Shasta Alpine Lodge and Wagon Camp to the sprawling Shasta National Forest boundary. To the south, the lumber town of McCloud serves as a local hub, anchored by the McCloud River RR and proximity to a large Sawmill. The map tracks the industrial and recreational development of the era, showing the Military Pass Road, various water management features like the Mud Creek Dam, and scattered railroad sidings such as Ash Creek Junction. Historical land use is visible through sites like the Cinder Pit, Landing Field, and the Snowmans Hill recreation area.
