Drawn in 1860, this sheet shows the Shasta Valley as seen from Long Gulch Mountain, with the snowy bulk of Mount Shasta as a landmark on the horizon. The work combines graphite, ink, and crayon on a small sheet, a mix that suggests a sketch made on the spot and later finished. It dates from the years when gold seekers were pushing into the mountains of northern California, and views like this one recorded terrain that miners, settlers, and travelers were just beginning to map and claim.
