1921 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 7

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Parks Creek and the Little Shasta River define the intricate drainage patterns of this northern California landscape, surveyed in 1921. At this time, the region was being closely studied by the U.S. Reclamation Service and the Klamath-Shasta Valley Irrigation District, as evidenced by the extreme detail in the terrain contours and the identification of localized water resources. The settlement pattern is sparse, dominated by significant family holdings such as Dukes Ranch, which stands as a central landmark in the valley. The presence of Big Springs in the northeastern corner suggests a critical water source for the ranching and irrigation efforts of the early twentieth century. This map captures the territory before extensive modern irrigation projects fully reshaped the hydraulic character of the valley, providing a detailed look at the original watercourses and early property distributions.
