  Siskiyou Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The historic route of the Siskiyou Trail extended from the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company, at Ft. Vancouver in southern Washington, to the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Trail used the valleys of the Willamette, Umpqua, Rogue, Klamath, Shasta and Sacramento Rivers to make the connection between Oregon and California, and to traverse the rugged mountains of Northern California and Southern Oregon.
The Trail crested at the Siskiyou Summit (elevation 4037 feet) just north of the Oregon-California border, and went past or near landmarks such as Mount Shasta, Upper Soda Springs, Castle Crags, and Sutter Buttes.

 Siskiyou County, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siskiyou County is a county located in far northernmost part of the U.S. state of California, in the Cascade Mountains on the Oregon border.
Siskiyou County was created on March 22, 1852 from parts of Shasta and Klamath Counties, and named after the Siskiyou mountain range.
The Siskiyou Trail was based on Native American footpaths, was expanded by Hudson's Bay Company trappers in the 1830s, and was expanded still further by "Forty-Niners" during the California Gold Rush.

 Siskiyou Trail Project
The Siskiyou summit was one arena of conflict during the Rogue River wars, as Indians and Pioneers fought for possession of the State of Jefferson.
In the final decades of the 19th century, development of the trail mirrored the attempts by the victorious Americans to integrate themselves into a larger, capitalistic, landscape: the trail was re-engineered and re-plotted as a toll road in 1860; a telegraph line was completed in 1864; and the Southern Pacific Railroad was completed in 1887.
These remains are reasonably identified with the portion of the trail used by the HBC after 1827, and by the first gold miners and emigrants to cross between Oregon and California in the late 1840's and 1850's.
