1901 Map of Redding

About this map

Redding and the upper Sacramento Valley serve as the anchor for this 1900 survey, which reveals a landscape defined by industrial extraction and the Southern Pacific R. R. corridor. The river network, including the Pit River and Cloudy River, supports a series of specialized settlements and works. To the north, the Baird Fish Hatchery sits near the confluence of major forks, while the mountains are peppered with active copper and gold prospects. Significant mining operations like the Bully Hill Mine, Uncle Sam Mine, and Afterthought Mine indicate the era's heavy mineral investment. Smaller settlements such as Kennett, Keswick, and the now-submerged Delta provide critical data for genealogists tracking early Shasta County families. South of the mountains, the terrain opens into the Stillwater Plains and Millville Plains, showing the early agricultural footprint around Enterprise and Palocedro.
