About this map

Shasta Valley dominates the northern landscape of this 1990s survey, where the Shasta River and its tributaries like Carrick Creek and Parks Creek provide the lifeblood for local industry and settlement. The city of Weed is the primary hub, showing the layout of the College of the Siskiyous and Lincoln Park alongside the industrial infrastructure of Sewage Disposal Ponds and the Weed Airport. To the north, the small community of Edgewood is centered near the Butteville Union School and an old Cem site.

In the southern reaches, the Shasta - Trinity National Forests cover the high ground, punctuated by several Mine and Gravel Pits locations that suggest the region's extraction history. The presence of Dwight Hammond Reservoir and the Dwight Hammond Dam on the Shasta River reflects the mid-century water management necessary for the valley's development. Genealogists may find value in the location of Winema Cem and several unnamed cemeteries scattered near the rail lines and creek beds.
