1886 Map of Shasta
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
Mt Shasta dominates this 1880s landscape, serving as a massive topographical anchor for the surrounding valleys and settlements. In the northern reaches, the mining and administrative hub of Yreka sits near the confluence of Yreka Creek and the Shasta Valley, while smaller mining camps like Mugginsville and Oro Fino are tucked into the western canyons of the Scott Valley. This era of development is defined by an extraction-based economy, evidenced by the Altoona Mines and Empire Mill, and a reliance on river crossings such as the ferry at Henley.
