1922 Map of Shasta Valley Sheet No 8

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Edgewood and the nearby settlement of Metcalf occupy a critical transit corridor in the northern California interior during the early 1920s. This survey, conducted by C. A. Stonesifer, captures the infrastructure of a landscape defined by water management and mountain passage. The Southern Pacific railroad and the Shasta Route Highway run nearly parallel through the valley, following the natural contours shaped by the Shasta River and Parks Creek. Notable local landmarks like the Parks Creek School suggest a settled rural community, while the intricate system of the Yreka Ditch and its Ditch Intake reflect the engineering efforts of the U. S. Reclamation Service and local irrigation districts. High-elevation points like Walker overlook the valley, providing a clear view of the topographic complexity where Boles Creek and various springs feed into the larger river system.
