Panoramic view of Mount Shasta overlooking railroad tracks and several houses, Siskiyou County, ca.1900-1940

Photograph of a panoramic view of Mount Shasta overlooking railroad tracks and several houses, Siskiyou County, ca.1900-1940. A railroad track runs horizontally across the landscape through a rocky slope surrounded by trees and bushes. Several houses are visible just beyond the railroad tracks (at left). A forest surrounds the houses, covering most of the area before the snow covered mountain range in the background.; "Mount Shasta is located in the Cascade Range in northern California about 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Oregon-California border and about midway between the Pacific Coast and the Nevada border. One of the largest and highest of the Cascade volcanoes, snowclad Mount Shasta is near the southern end of the range that terminates near Lassen Peak. Mount Shasta is a massive compound stratovolcano composed of overlapping cones centered at four or more main vents; it was constructed during a period of more than 100,000 years." -- unknown author
