1894 Map of Red Bluff

The map preserves the site of Fort Reading (Site) and traces significant overland routes like the Lassen Trail and the Humboldt Trail. In the northwest, the Trinity River winds through high country past Weaverville and Douglas City, while small outposts such as Buck Horn Station and Tower House mark the stage and freight routes that connected the valley to these remote mountain communities. From the U.S. Fishery on the Pit River to the southern grain and cattle lands near Tehama, the document captures a landscape transitioning from pioneer trails to a rail-centered economy.
