1950 Map of Bucks Lake

About this map

Bucks Lake and the surrounding high country of the Plumas National Forest define this mid-century landscape of water storage, ranching, and resource extraction. The reservoir, featuring a Boat Dock and Bucks Lodge, sits at the center of a drainage network feeding into Bucks Creek and the Middle Fork of the Feather River. Small settlements like Meadow Valley and Spanish Ranch appear alongside institutional sites such as the U C Forestry Camp and Bucks Guard Sta.
