About this map

Weed serves as the primary hub in this Siskiyou County landscape, situated at the junction where Boles Cr and the Shasta River meet. The area is defined by its transition from the valley floor to the timbered slopes, featuring established residential pockets like Hammond Ranch and the community of Edgewood to the north. Transportation corridors dominate the north-south axis, with Old Highway 99 and Railroad Ave tracing the historical paths of commerce alongside more modern infrastructure like the Weed Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Winema Cem and the small settlement of Igerna. Water resources are a prominent feature, including Dwight Hammond Reservoir and several named mountain streams like Parks Cr and Eddy Cr, which provide a clear picture of the region's hydrography and land use in the early 21st century. The map also captures smaller details like Soda Spring, marking the natural features that have long characterized this part of Northern California.
