1913 Map of Weaverville

About this map

Weaverville serves as the focal point for this 1911 survey of Northern California gold country, a landscape defined by its deep mining heritage and the rugged interface between Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest. The map documents a significant industrial era where large-scale operations like the La Grange Mine and Globe Mine operated alongside remote homesteads. The Trinity River winds through the center of the sheet, connecting established settlements like Lewiston and Douglas City with scattered pioneer outposts such as Bowermans Ranch and Adams Ranch. This record is particularly valuable for tracing early 20th-century hydrology and resource extraction, capturing the location of numerous workings including the Niagara Mine and Bully Choop Mine before modern landscape alterations. The presence of Minersville and Whiskeytown highlights the region's primary economic drivers during this reprinted 1928 edition.
