1894 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

Redding and Shasta serve as central hubs in this late-19th-century reconnaissance of the Northern California interior, where the Central Pacific Railroad follows the Sacramento River corridor. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the broad Sacramento Valley to the high peaks of the Bully Choop Mountains and Yallo Bally Mountains. Mining legacy is visible throughout the western reaches, with camps like Minersville, French Gulch, and Weaverville dotting the drainages of the Trinity River and Trinity Mountain.
