2018 Map of Babcock Peak

About this map

Babcock Peak and Papoose Peak define the high terrain of this portion of the Plumas National Forest as recorded in 2018. The landscape is marked by a complex network of forest roads and historic infrastructure, including the remnants of a Railroad Grade and a Railroad Spur that trace the path of former timber or mining operations. Low-lying areas like Babcock Meadows and Squaw Valley provide a contrast to the ridges, served by water sources such as Cinder Spring and Poison Creek Spring. Civil engineering and seasonal habitation are evident through features like Notson Bridge, Clover Valley Camp, and the Spring Cabin. The map also preserves the location of the Dodge Mine, anchoring the area's industrial history within the drainage basins of Last Chance Creek and Squaw Queen Creek.
