About this map

The McCloud River and Pit River systems dominate this 1930s landscape at the junction of Siskiyou and Shasta counties. Settlement is anchored by the logging and railroad junction at Bartle, where the Mt Shasta RR meets the regional highway. The map captures a transition in the timber economy, evidenced by the presence of the Pilgrim Creek Nursery Guard Sta and the Slagger Camp.

Industry and conservation efforts appear side-by-side near the southern boundary, where the Burney Fish Hatchery sits near Lake Britton. Remote outposts such as Crews Cabin and the Bird Flat Guard Sta are scattered throughout the volcanic terrain of Buck Mtn and Hambone Butte. To the east, the rural community of Dana and landmarks like Long Ranch indicate the agricultural pockets established along the Fall River drainage.
