1956 Map of Blairsden
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Middle Fork Feather River carves a deep path through the heart of Plumas County, defining a landscape where industrial extraction and early mountain recreation meet. This mid-century view shows the Western Pacific Railroad tracing the canyon walls, connecting high-altitude timber and mining operations like the Walker Mine and the Thomas Eureka Mine (Site) to the world beyond. The region's transition from a hard-rock mining frontier to a destination for summer visitors is visible in the presence of the Feather River Inn, Feather River Park, and the Mohawk Boys Camp.
