About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this section of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the Middle Fork Feather River carves deep canyons through the landscape. The river is fed by numerous tributaries, including Berry Cr and Fall River, and is marked by significant hydrological features such as Feather Falls and Curtain Falls. The rugged topography is defined by prominent ridges like Mosquito Ridge and massive granite outcrops such as Big Bald Rock and Bald Rock Dome.

Small settlements like Brush Creek and Junction House are connected by a network of forest roads and spurs, including Shute Rd and Kendall Spur B. Historic river access points, noted as bars, include American Bar, Evans Bar, and Crooked Bar, reflecting the long history of river-based activity in the region. Local landmarks like California Nutmeg Spring and Wagners Valley provide specific points of interest for researchers studying the geographic and social history of Butte County.
