1913 Map of Weaverville

About this map

Gold mining operations and cattle ranches define the early twentieth-century landscape of this rugged portion of Northern California. The Trinity River and Clear Creek serve as the primary drainage systems for a territory dominated by the Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest. Prominent hydraulic and hard-rock operations like the La Grange Mine and Globe Mine are situated near established settlements such as Weaverville and Lewiston. Smaller family holdings, including Adams Ranch and Dinkles Ranch, appear alongside remote outposts like Minersville P O. The topography is punctuated by high peaks such as Bully Choop Mtn and Shasta Bally, reflecting a period when pack trails and wagon roads were the essential lifelines for isolated mountain communities and industrial claims like the Bully Choop Mine.
