About this map

The North Fork Feather River carves a deep path through the canyon lands of the Plumas National Forest, where the Western Pacific RR follows the steep river grade toward Las Plumas. This landscape is defined by the intersections of early mountain industry and scattered settlements. To the south, the timber and mining communities of Enterprise and Forbestown mark the transition toward the Yuba County line, while isolated ranches like Schaefer Ranch and Andy Smith Ranch dot the higher ridges.
