LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

Siskiyou County's Yreka Mining District was a major quartz-lode center during the 1850s–1900s, with deep mines and rich surface showings that drew sustained attention from hard-rock miners. The Scott River valley, Etna region, and Klamath River system all produced documented placer gold and lode quartz. Recent claim activity has concentrated in the Marble Mountain and Scott Bar areas, where paleochannels and exposed mineralization remain visible. The BLM Redding Field Office administers federal claims; many historic mine buildings and prospects remain accessible.
