1932 Map of Bartle

About this map

Shasta Natl Forest surrounds the logging and ranching outposts of northern California in the early 1930s. The settlement of Bartle serves as a central point for the surrounding timber operations, supported by the Bartle Ranger Sta and the Hambone Pump Sta. This landscape is deeply defined by its water resources and specialized infrastructure, including the Burney Fish Hatchery and Pondosa Dam. Local education is scattered across the territory at rural schoolhouses such as Island Dist Sch, Indian Spr Sch, and Kosk Sch. The terrain is marked by volcanic features and meadows, with names like Deep Crater, Ice Cave, and Atkins Meadow indicating the diverse geological character of the region. Isolated outposts such as Crews Cabin and the Wiley Ranch reflect the era's sparse but steady habitation amidst the vast timberlands.
