2018 Map of Blue Nose Mountain

About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves through this northern Sierra Nevada landscape, where the legacies of gold mining and forestry intersect. River bars such as English Bar and Bill Bar speak to the early placer mining history of the Feather River canyon, while the presence of the Spring Garden Tunnel in the northeast corner highlights the industrial engineering required to navigate this steep terrain. The map is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Blue Nose Ridge, Gibsonville Ridge, and Bunker Hill Ridge, which historically separated the various mining camps and watersheds.
