Key Facts

  • The post office location is officially designated as 'POSTMASTER,' indicating administrative rather than community mail service.
  • Despite covering 15.9 square miles, the area has zero recorded population in Census data.
  • Three streets provide access to recreation facilities: Whiskey Creek Road (2 delivery points), State Highway 299 (1 point), and Grizzly Gulch Road (1 point).
  • Mail delivery combines 2 street routes with 3 rural routes spanning the recreational landscape.
  • The nearest residential communities are Shasta (2.6 miles away) and Grant (4.2 miles), where most park visitors likely maintain addresses.

The Mail System

The post office maintains just 3 PO Boxes. With only 4 residential addresses tracked in the spatial data and no recorded population, this isn't a residential community. The handful of streets—Whiskey Creek Road, State Highway 299, and Grizzly Gulch Road—serve recreational access points rather than neighborhoods. One named building receives ZIP+4-specific mail: the Postmaster location itself.

Recreation Area Character

Whiskeytown operates as a gateway to outdoor recreation rather than a place where people live year-round. The 15.9 square mile ZIP includes rugged terrain west of Redding, where the lake and surrounding wilderness attract boaters, hikers, and campers. The minimal PO Box count suggests most park visitors use addresses from nearby communities like Shasta (2.6 miles) or Redding (7.3 miles).

Delivery Patterns

Mail delivery here follows a mixed pattern typical of recreation areas. Two street routes handle the few permanent addresses, while one city carrier route and three rural routes extend across the vast recreational landscape. The POSTMASTER designation as a named building indicates this facility serves administrative functions for the recreation area rather than a conventional residential community.

Street Name Patterns

Recreation Access Geographic Names
