Maps of No. Cal. Ghost Towns/Sites / FREE SHIPPING

Early roads and trails are shown throughout this section of the state.  The two counties of Klamath and Siskiyou are shown on the northern border.  Early trails/roads connected Yreka to Trinidad and Eureka.  A main road is shown from Sacramento to the Oregon border.  Marysville, Red Bluffs and Shasta City were located on this road.  Yreka was bypassed several miles to the east. Numerous roads were shown connecting the early town sites in the mother lode region east of Sacramento and Marysville.

The reader should be reminded that some of the early place names might have been a post office operated in a ranch house or an early stage station as well as town sites.  Some locations were moved from time to time while others changed their names or simply failed.  The chosen sites of early place names and locations were selected at random with no effort to credit those chosen or discredit those that were not. The early maps were obtained from the National Archives and the overlays were created from a U.S.G.S. planometric map.  Population chart was taken from a 1900 George F. Cram Atlas of 1900, History of Western Cities and Towns by Riley Moffat and the California State Library census records.  Other information came from California Place Names by Gudde, California Ghost Trails by Broman, Ghost Towns of the West by Lane Publishing and Ghost towns of the Pacific Frontier by Florin. Photographs are credited to each doner.
