ILLUSTRATIONS

1. Shasta County Portion of Sheet #1, Official Map of California, 1853.

This map was approved and declared to be the official map of the state of California by an act of the legislature passed March 25, 1853. Note Shasta City, Whiskey Town, Brandy and Clear creeks, and the trail joining Shasta with Weaverville. The fact that the trail does not run through Whiskey Town typifies the numerous inaccuracies of the early maps of the West.
