1956 Map of Blairsden
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Middle Fork Feather River carves through the heart of this Plumas County terrain, anchoring a landscape of mid-century timber and mining operations. The Western Pacific railroad follows the river's winding path, serving small lumber and railway stops like Sloat, Cromberg, and the central hub at Blairsden. Higher in the mountains, the industrial history of the region is evident at the Walker Con Mine (Site) and Walkermine (Site), once significant copper producers, while the town of Johnsville remains a gateway to the gold-bearing quartz of the Thomas Eureka Mine (Site).
