Susanville, Oregon

Susanville is a ghost town in Grant County, Oregon, United States, in the Blue Mountains about two miles up Elk Creek from Galena.

[4] Susanville post office was established in 1888, but was moved by miners two miles up Elk Creek in 1901, and Galena post office replaced the one at Susanville's original location.

[4] The story goes that the miners of the "New Susanville" actually stole the post office, including its mailboxes, canceling stamp, inkpad.

[3][5] Susanville had only one street because Elk Creek canyon was too narrow for more.
