1998 Map of Whiskeytown

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Whiskeytown Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, a central feature of the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. The surrounding terrain in the Shasta Trinity National Forests is heavily marked by industrial history, with numerous mines and prospects dotting the drainages of Clear Creek and its many tributaries. Notable operations such as the Gladstone Mine, Early Bird Mine, and Richmond Mine indicate the area's historical reliance on mineral extraction. In the southeast, Iron Mountain stands as a prominent landmark near the Mine Dump and Tailings areas, reflecting the scale of past earth-moving activities. Small settlements like Whiskeytown and Portuguese Flat are situated near the water's edge, while recreation sites like Oak Bottom Campground and the Whiskey Creek Picnic Area highlight the transition from an extractive economy to one centered on public land use and conservation.
