◎ DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE
LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

Shasta County's French Gulch Mining District produced significant quartz lodes and placer gold during the 1850s–1880s, with the Keswick and Shasta Lake areas serving as supply hubs. The Pit River and its tributaries drain auriferous terrain; small-scale placer operations continue in accessible drainage segments. Recent geology mapping has identified porphyry copper-gold systems in the Pit River canyon — similar to world-class deposits in the Great Basin. The BLM Redding Field Office handles federal claims; water availability is seasonal.
