About this map

Scott Valley and the northern reaches of the Scott River define this 1931 survey of the California gold country. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extraction history, featuring numerous family-operated and commercial claims like the Bonanza King Mine, Integral Mine, and the Society Girl Mine. Scattered settlements such as Callahan, Carrville, and Trinity Center anchor the valley and river forks, connected by early roads that navigated the steep terrain between Scott Mountain and Mount Eddy.

Educational and administrative presence in the wilderness is documented through the Mt Conardus Sch, the East Fork District Sch, and the Trinity Center Ranger Station. The mapping of the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest boundaries illustrates the era's forest management, while labels for Vanderpoole Mill and Schrams Mill show the timber industry's early footprint alongside the pervasive mining activity.
