Klamath County, California

The map on the Home page is only part of the story. The following maps might help to illustrate the tremendous changes which transpired within a relatively short period of time in the life of the counties in northern California.

For an absolutely splendid description and display of maps of northern California and the progression of boundry changes, please see the extremely informative Trinity County site, maintained by Lewis M. Ruddick. Scroll down toward the bottom of the page for his link to the Trinity and Humboldt historical maps. And Edward A. Black, Sr.'s special Siskiyou County site. Scroll down a little way to his link to the Siskiyou maps.

Below is the progression of the total state's boundry changes, from 1850 through 1922, as recorded in Owen C. Coy's "California County Boundries," published in 1923 by the California Historical Commission. Coy gives the modern names of the counties (remember, Colusa started out as Colusi as shown by Mr. Ruddick's maps).
