2012 Map of Viola

About this map

Viola serves as a central point in this part of Shasta County, situated where Bailey Cr flows through Scharsch Meadows. The landscape is defined by the complex water systems of the North Fork Battle Creek watershed, featuring significant impoundments at North Battle Creek Reservoir and McCumber Reservoir. The presence of Camp McCumber and Reservoir Public Camp suggests the area's established role as a destination for outdoor recreation and youth camps. Historical land use is evident through numerous named family homesteads and agricultural operations, such as Scharsch Ranch, Nunes Ranch, and Armstrong Ranch. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive geological features including Mushroom Rock, Rooster Comb, and Palisade Cliff, while transportation is facilitated by a network of forest routes and the historic Emigrant Trl, which snakes across the lower terrain near Eastman Place.
