1921 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 1

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Gazelle serves as the focal point of this 1921 advance survey, situated where the valley floor meets the steep western foothills in Siskiyou, California. The map illustrates a critical transportation corridor during the early 20th century, dominated by the Southern Pacific (Shasta Route) railroad and the parallel Pacific Highway. These routes trace the narrow level ground between the hills and Willow Creek, capturing the infrastructure that connected the Pacific Northwest to California. The topography is meticulously detailed with five-foot contour intervals, revealing a landscape of small volcanic mounds and complex drainage patterns. Surveyed by L.O.Newsome in cooperation with the U.S. Reclamation Service, the sheet reflects an era focused on regional water management and irrigation potential within the Shasta Valley.
