1950 Map of Bucks Lake

About this map

Bucks Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain within the Plumas National Forest, serving as a central hub for logging and recreation in the mid-century. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and prominent peaks, such as Spanish Pk and Mt Pleasant, while the Middle Fork Feather River carves through the southern reaches. This era shows a transition from earlier industrial mining to forestry and public management, with the U C Forestry Camp and Bucks Lake Guard Sta established to oversee these resources.
