It is a favorite topic of mine. Just as old photographs illustrate the past, maps do the same. My new scanner is of the flat bed variety and I am able reproduce certain maps. While some larger maps, I am unable to do, I should be able to scan certain areas.

The above map appeared in a Lassen County sponsored home seekers guide. Many of the communities depicted no longer exist. Some of the landmarks, are known today by another name. Lake Bidwell, is now Butte Lake, “Valcano” is Crater Lake and Halls is Papoose Meadows.
