1943 Map of Blairsden
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Walkermine and its associated industrial infrastructure, including the Walker Mine Compressor, define the northern high country of this 1930s survey. The landscape is a complex network of resource extraction and early mountain tourism, where the Western Pacific RR follows the Middle Fork Feather River through the heart of the Plumas National Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated along this rail corridor at Sloat, Cromberg, and Blairsden, while more remote locations like Johnsville near the Plumas Eureka Mine highlight the area's deep mining roots. The presence of Camp Wieland Feather River Lodge and an Auto Camp indicates the growing role of recreation alongside active timber operations, evidenced by several stretches of Logging RR moving through Clover Valley and the surrounding timber stands.
