1922 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 13

About this map

Bogus Mtn. and its surrounding ridgelines dominate this 1922 topographical study, which was produced through a collaboration involving the U.S. Reclamation Service and the Klamath-Shasta Valley Irrigation District. The survey focuses heavily on the verticality of the terrain, marked by a Summit and triangulation points labeled Tree and Oak. Evidence of early infrastructure development in Siskiyou County is visible in the form of a Power Line that cuts north-to-south through the gaps in the mountains. This sheet captures a landscape largely defined by its topography rather than settlement, though a single isolated School indicates a localized community presence amidst the steep contours. The work of surveyors C. A. Ecklund and C. A. Stonesifer provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and peaks before major modern land-use changes altered the Shasta Valley region.
