1972 Map of Babcock Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Babcock Peak and Papoose Peak define the high terrain of this portion of the Plumas National Forest, where the landscape is marked by the infrastructure of early mountain commerce and transit. The presence of an Old Grade Railroad and an Old Railroad Grade indicates a legacy of timber extraction or mountain transport that once navigated the drainage basins of Last Chance Creek and Squaw Queen Creek. These waterways, along with Clover Creek and Meadow Creek, provided critical resources in an environment otherwise dotted with numerous named water sources like Cinder Spring and Poison Creek Spring. The map identifies localized crossing points such as Notson Bridge and the Murdock Crossing (Ford), illustrating the essential network of trails and passages through the expansive Squaw Valley meadowlands and surrounding peaks.
