1985 Map of Shingletown

About this map

The settlement of Shingletown and the surrounding timber and water resources of northern California are mapped here as they appeared in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its hydroelectric and agricultural water management systems, notably the complex of facilities along the forks of Battle Creek. Water infrastructure is dense throughout the region, including the Inskip Powerhouse, Inskip Dam, and South Powerhouse, which utilize the area's natural descent. The Darrah Springs State Fish Hatchery stands as a significant landmark in the western portion of the quadrangle. Geological features such as Black Butte and Jackass Butte provide topographic anchors for the region, while man-made additions like the Landing Strip and various pipelines reflect the mid-century development of this upland area near the Shasta Co Tehama Co line.
