1975 Map of Beckwourth Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Beckwourth Pass serves as a critical geographic gateway through the Sierra Nevada, documented here in the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by the expansive Upper Long Valley and the crossing of the Western Pacific Railroad, which pierces the ridge through the Beckwourth Pass Tunnel. The map illustrates the region's transport and industrial evolution, from the active rail line and highway hub at Hallelujah Junction to remnants of earlier infrastructure like the Old RR Grade. Small-scale extractive operations including a Strip Mine and a Gravel Pit are scattered across the valley floor near the Lassen and Plumas county lines. Traces of pioneer and ranching history are evident in the Pacific Cattle Trail and the settlement at Scotts, providing a detailed look at this high-altitude corridor.
