OFF THE MAP
 
The old depot at Castle Crag was torn down recently and was shipped through here Friday to some southern station, says the Red Bluff Cause. This removes the last vestige of that once famous summer resort, Castle Crag, which was built by the Southern Pacific Company. Sometime ago the old freight depot at that place was removed to Castella. There is nothing now to show where Castle Crag ever stood and the place will probably never by revived.
