1951 Map of Blue Nose Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves a deep path through this portion of the northern Sierra Nevada, framing a landscape defined by gold-era extraction and timber management. Within the Plumas National Forest, the Feather River Experimental Forest (PNF) marks early forest research efforts, while the Western Pacific Railroad follows the high canyon walls, a marvel of mountain engineering. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic mining sites, including the Turkeytown Diggings, Poverty Diggings, and the Bunker Hill Mine, illustrating the intense hydraulic and hard-rock activity along the ridges.
