1965 Map of Tuscan Buttes NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Battle Creek carves a deep path through the borderlands of Shasta and Tehama counties, defining a landscape of hydro-electric infrastructure and scattered ranching. The mid-1960s waterscape is dominated by the Coleman Powerhouse and its associated Coleman Forebay, with the Coleman Canal tracing the northern contours of the canyon. To the north, the terrain transitions into upland pastures marked by established properties like Scharsch Ranch and Armstrong Ranch, which are accessed by historic routes such as Dersch Road and Wildcat Road. Volcanic remnants like Black Butte and the nearby Cinder Pit signify the geological character of the region, while man-made landmarks like the Asbury Pipe Siphon highlight the complex irrigation and power networks built to manage the area's descent toward the valley. This survey captures a moment of intensive resource management and rural land use before modern development.
