Hi, This is another part of Modoc Co., CA Sorry but I have no additional information on these. Only thing is says for sure is if your Ancestor was here in 1885. If there is no occupation it is because none was listed. Modoc is 25 pages in my wordperfect so it will take a few posts to get it all.

The Fort itself is splendidly located upon a Government reservation one mile square, and contains large and commodious frame buildings. The town lies to the east of the Fort, just off the reservation. It possesses the usual business interest, and has nearly the same number of people as Cedarville, upon whom it draws for patronage. The Reno stages run daily to this point, where connection with the Alturas line is made which passes on into Oregon. Aldrich, Charles H. - machinist Anderson, Colin Rev.
