Big Bend Guard Station, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Big Bend Road and Pit River, Big Bend, Shasta County, California, 2003
Scope and Contents
The determination of eligibility form describes the Big Bend Guard Station as historically significant during 1933 - 1941. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees built the structures. Three structures built during the Depression Era qualify as Historic Places. All other buildings are newer and do not fall under qualifying guidelines.
The Great Depression officially started in 1929. However, the Pacific West was suffering economically at least two years before the crash. The combination of displaced people due to agricultural disaster in the Midwest and the migrants moving west in the late 1920s resulted in increased competition for jobs. Relief came when President Franklin Roosevelt developed the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as part of the New Deal. Many of CCC projects survive through the conservation and preservation efforts of many. Included in the folder are images of maps and structures.
