2012 Map of Calpine

About this map

Carman Valley and its network of alpine meadows anchor this high-altitude landscape in Sierra County. The small community of Calpine serves as a central hub, featuring a local Po and the nearby Calpine Reservoir. The surrounding terrain is defined by distinct named clearings such as Folchi Meadows, Knuthson Meadow, and McNair Meadow, which hint at the region's history of ranching and high-country grazing. Waterways like Carman Cr and Fletcher Cr drain the slopes of McElroy Hill, while forest routes like Forest Rte 09 and Mt Quail Rd provide access through the timbered landscape. For those tracing local history or family ties, Westside Cem and the Totem Pole Ranch Airport offer specific points of interest within the quadrangle.
