1994 Map of Beckwourth Pass

About this map

Beckwourth Pass serves as the focal point of this late-century landscape, marking a critical transit corridor where the Feather River meets the eastern Sierra Nevada. The terrain is characterized by the wide expanse of Upper Long Valley and the Dinwiddie Arm, showing a mix of ranching, mining, and timber management. Industrial activity is evident through several Strip Mine locations, a Quarry, and the Long Valley Mill. Transportation hubs such as Hallelujah Junction and Reno Junction underscore the area's role as a crossroads near the California Nevada border. Small settlements and specialized landmarks like Scotts, a lonely Cemetery, and the Chilcoot (Site) offer specific points of interest for those tracing the history of the Plumas National Forest and its surrounding public lands.
