Susanville’s Oak Avenue

The Oak Avenue abandonment map, 1882.

This was one of the original streets of Susanville, and an interesting one at that. Oak Avenue was located between North Pine and North Roop Streets. It started at Nevada Street and extended beyond Willow Street. It should be noted, North Roop Street ended at Willow Street. However, Oak Avenue only extended forty feet from Nevada, due to the fact there was no right-of-way. In December 1882, a petition by the residents of the area, requested the Lassen County Board of Supervisors to abandon Oak Avenue. The board obliged and  so no more Oak Avenue on paper.
