1951 Map of Blue Nose Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves through this northern Sierra Nevada landscape, where the 1951 field survey documents a legacy of gold-era activity. Gold mining traces are evident at Turkeytown Diggings and the Nelson Point (Site), highlighting the historical importance of the Nelson Creek drainage. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the region with several marked operations, including the Bunker Hill Mine near Bunker Hill Ridge and the Pilot Mine situated on the slopes of Pilot Peak. Significant elevations such as Blue Nose Mtn and the Eureka Ridge dominate the center of the sheet, while the northern edge includes the Feather River Experimental Forest (PNF). This area, straddling the Plumas and Sierra County line, shows a complex network of ravines and flats, like Zumwalt Flat and English Bar, that were once central to the hydraulic and lode mining efforts of the Feather River basin.
