1922 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 10 E

About this map

C. A. Stonesifer surveyed this pocket of the Klamath-Shasta Valley in 1922, capturing the distinct volcanic topography of Siskiyou County. The landscape is dominated by the prominent profile of Yellow Butte, which stands out against the intricate contour lines of the surrounding terrain. A particularly unique element of this survey is the detailed recording of subterranean features known simply as The Caves. The map includes a specific cartographic note indicating that dots at this location represent the actual direction of the cave passages, providing rare documentation of the local underworld geography during this era of irrigation expansion and land reclamation by the State of California.
