1921 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 6

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Little Shasta Valley's distinctive volcanic landscape is captured here in 1921, characterized by hundreds of small, isolated hills and hummocks that dot the floor of this basin. This unique topography was documented by surveyors C.A. Stonesifer and Thos.H. Moncure as part of a joint effort with the Klamath-Shasta Valley Irrigation District. The map reveals a sparsely settled rural landscape where the Shasta River meanders through the western portion of the sheet. Education in the district centered around the Big Springs School, which serves as the primary landmark for the small ranching community established in the eastern valley. The intricate contour lines vividly illustrate the debris flow deposits that define this region's geology, providing a clear record of the terrain before mid-century agricultural developments and infrastructure modernizations altered the drainage patterns.
