1922 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 14

About this map

The Klamath River flows through the northern reaches of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the Cal-Ore Power Co facility marks an early industrial presence on the water. This 1920s advance sheet detail reveals a territory defined by deep ravines and the winding path of the Pacific Highway, which served as the primary terrestrial artery through the region. The map provides clear evidence of rural community life in the early twentieth century through the placement of localized education centers like Snowden School and Ager School. Surveyed in cooperation with the Klamath-Shasta Valley Irrigation District, the topography emphasizes the drainage patterns of Willow Creek and the varied elevation changes that shaped the agricultural and infrastructural development of the Shasta Valley during this period.
