1952 Map of Ono

About this map

Ono and Gas Point serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the rugged transition between the Sacramento Valley and the Klamath Mountains. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries, including Roaring River and the North Fork Cottonwood Creek. Evidence of the region's resource-based economy is visible through the tailings marked near the Cottonwood Road and various gulches like Coal Pit Gulch and Dutch Gulch. The boundary between Shasta and Tehama counties winds through the southern portion of the sheet, crossing high points like Chickabally Mtn. Scattered landmarks such as Pentacola Field, Crow Flat, and several cemeteries provide specific points of interest for those tracing the family names and early rural infrastructure of these northern California foothills before modern development shifted the local footprint.
