About this map

Blairsden and Graeagle anchor the southern portion of this Plumas County terrain, where the Middle Fork Feather River carves through the high mountain landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates a diverse geography, from the residential pockets at Mohawk Vista and the recreational grounds of the Graeagle Meadows Golf Course to the high elevations of Smith Peak and Penman Peak. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Betterton Cr, Willow Cr, and Denton Cr all feeding toward the central river valley.

Small mountain settlements and named flats are scattered throughout the region, including Mabie, Delleker, and Five Points. The map records a transition from developed valley floors at Gray Eagle Valley to the broad, high-altitude expanses of Humbug Valley and Claireville Flat. Notable landmarks like Penman Saddle and Bonta Ridge provide context for the local topography, while numerous forest roads and local ways like Mohawk Vista Rd connect these isolated communities.
