About this map

Old Cow Cr and S Cow Cr carve a series of deep ravines across this portion of Shasta County, defining a landscape shaped by water and early infrastructure. The map reveals a rural network of small settlements and industrial markers, notably the Cow Creek Powerhouse and its associated Cow Creek Forebay. These features, along with names like Wagoner and Wagoner Canyon, suggest an era of local utility development and land use tied to the region's steep topography.

Evidence of community life appears at the Ellis School and the small residential pockets of Pawnee and Smith. The terrain is characterized by numerous named drainages such as Clough Gulch, Wilk Gulch, and Townsend Gulch, while the southern portion is crossed by Bear Cr near Bear Creek Canyon. This 2012 survey captures the modern road system, including Whitmore Rd and Camino Real, which provide access to these historically significant rural sites.
