Tehama County 



A. J. HANMANS 



TEHAMA COUNTY is bounded by Shasta County on the north, Plumas 

 and Butte on the east, Butte and Glenn on the south, and Mendocino 

 and Trinity on the west. Tehama County has an area of 3,200 

 square miles, or 2,000,000 acres, of which 800,000 acres are tillable, 

 700,000 acres grazing, and 500,000 acres of forest or timber lands. 

 The eastern line of Tehama County extends to the summit of the Sierra 

 Nevada Mountains on the east and to the summit of the Coast Range 

 Mountains on the west. These mountains extend from north to south, 

 and about 125 miles north of Tehama County the two ranges converge, 

 and at that point rises grand old Mount Shasta, whose ever-snow-capped 

 head climbs far above the firs and pines until it reaches an altitude of 

 14,442 feet. 



At this point, it may be said, rises the head of the great Sacramento 

 River, which flows to the south and nearly through the center of Tehama 

 County, and is navigable for steamboats to Red Bluff, the county seat of 

 Tehama County. On either side of the Sacramento River, and extending 

 to the foothills of the mountains, may be found as fertile soil as can be 

 found on the Pacific Coast, and nature has done much for Tehama County 

 by protecting it from the cold western and eastern winds and fogs that 

 come in from the ocean, thus giving it a climate not equaled by sunny Italy. 

 This enables Tehama County to produce anything and everything known 

 to a tropical climate. 



Tehama County has more diversified industries than any other county; 

 her schools and churches are equal to any, and the county and towns are 

 showing a vigorous growth. Many of our large grain ranches are now 

 being cut up into small tracts which will furnish homes for hundreds 

 of families, and a man can secure a tract of land of any size he may desire 

 at "live-and-let-live" prices. No healthier county can be found on the 

 coast; flowers bloom and vegetables mature every month in the year, and 

 it is a true saying that this is a land of sunshine, fruit, and flowers. 



Red Bluff, 307 feet above sea-level, is 200 miles north of San Fran- 

 cisco, 125 miles north of Sacramento. The average rainfall for twenty- 

 eight years is twenty-nine inches, extending from October to July, and 

 Tehama County never had a crop failure. 



Nevada County

THIS county is well named the "banner gold-mining county of the 

 United States." Its history began in the year of '49. Since that 

 period it has continually held its own, and has added $200,000,000 

 to the wealth of the world. In addition to having produced gold, it 

 is also a land whose good soil produces fruit and all kinds of crops 

 in abundance. The finest apples and Bartlett pears are grown in a great 

 quantity at the elevation of 3,000 feet; prunes, grapes, olives, and other 

 fruit at a lower elevation. Peach-trees in this county have produced fruit 

 that has sold at an average of $200 per acre. 



One of the best known creameries is located six miles from the city 

 of Crass Valley. There are thousands of acres of land in and near Grass
