About this map

Dunsmuir and the industrial corridors of the Sacramento River dominate this mid-1930s survey of the northern California highlands. The Southern Pacific railroad is the primary artery of the region, linking the timber and transportation hubs of Weed and Mc Cloud to the river canyon. This era shows the landscape before modern interstate development, with the Sacramento Highway winding through the mountains alongside numerous small rail stops and post offices like Hazel Creek P O and Sims Sta.

The map details the local infrastructure of the Shasta National Forest, including the State Fish Hatchery and the Pine Flat Ranger Sta. Remote settlements and family holdings such as Connor Ranch and Deter Camp are clearly marked. From the high elevations of Mt Shasta and its surrounding glaciers to the specialized resorts at Ney Springs and Shasta Lodge, the survey captures a mountain economy built on timber, transport, and early alpine recreation.
