Book Title: Illustrated History Of Plumas, Lassen & Sierra Counties

LONG VALLEY.

   Lying in that narrow strip in the southern portion of Lassen county, situated
between the Plumas county line and the line dividing the states of California
and Nevada, is Long valley. It follows the course of Antelope creek, a tributary
of Honey lake, as it flows towards the north. It is nearly forty miles long, and
varies in width, though not exceeding a few miles at its widest point. This
valley has been a stock range for many years, and is one of the best to be found
in the great Nevada basin. Several thousand cattle are raised annually by the
wealthy ranchers who own the valley. These gentlemen have finely improved
places, and among the finer ones are the Evans, McKissick, and the two Ross
ranches, which have residences and improvements upon them as good as can be
found anywhere. A post-office named Long Valley is located there. The stage road
from .Reno to Susanville passes through it from end to end, and the Reno and
Oregon railroad will probably soon be built through the valley, giving it
splendid transportation facilities.
