1994 Map of American House

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

The high ridges of the Plumas National Forest converge at the multi-county junction of Plumas, Butte, Yuba, and Sierra counties. This 1990s revision reveals a landscape of industrial extraction and high-altitude water management. Inactive mining operations like the Browns Hill Mine and Sunnyside Mine sit alongside active resource sites like the Quarry near Lava Creek. The South Fork Feather River feeds into the Little Grass Valley Res, controlled by the South Fork Diversion Dam. For the family historian, the map identifies isolated ranching and homesteading footprints, most notably the McIntosh Ranch Cemetery and Boehme Ranch. The topography is marked by significant peaks and passes, including Big Pk, Camel Pk, and the distinct crossing at Devils Gap. This survey documents a wilderness transitioning from its mining heritage to modern forest management and hydroelectric utility.
