1922 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 5

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Steamboat Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 1922 topographical study, providing a high-relief contrast to the meandering path of the Little Shasta River below. This survey, conducted by C. A. Ecklund, captures the northern California interior during a period of expanding irrigation and rail infrastructure. The Southern Pacific (Oregon Route) cuts through the western sections of the map, supporting the small settlement of Snowden and its associated siding. The terrain is characterized by numerous small volcanic buttes and precise elevation markers like BM 2659 and BM 2614, which were essential for the water management projects planned by the Klamath-Shasta Valley Irrigation District and the U. S. Reclamation Service. The detailed contour lines illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the river valley, marking a moment just before modern agricultural developments reshaped the local hydrology.
