1949 Map of Camp Far West

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Bear River serves as the focal point for this landscape along the borders of Yuba, Nevada, and Placer counties, just before mid-century hydraulic changes reshaped the valley. The map documents a period of transition where the Camp Beale Military Reservation dominates the northern terrain, overlaying the older boundaries of the Rancho Johnson land grant. Local industry and early pioneer history are clearly visible at the Dairy Farm Mine and the Camp Far West (Historic Site), a former military post established during the gold rush era. South of the Camp Far West Reservoir, the landscape shifts toward the agricultural settlements of The Thermalands, where the Valley View School and Lofton Cem provide critical touchstones for genealogical research. The presence of significant Tailings along the riverbanks underscores the lasting impact of mining on the local topography.
