1950 Map of Bray

About this map

Tennant and Bray serve as central nodes in a landscape defined by timber extraction and rail transit during the mid-century. The Southern Pacific line cuts through the western terrain, passing through Jerome and Leaf, while the Lumber RR branches toward the interior forests to support local industry. The topographical variety is stark, ranging from the volcanic profiles of East Jerome Butte and Cedar Mtn to the unique subterranean landmark of the Ice Cave. Water resources are vital but scattered, marked by features like Antelope Sink, La Honda Well, and the seasonal Cold Spring. This survey records the region's development within the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest, showing the intersection of commercial logging infrastructure and the Mt Diablo Meridian surveying line.
