1949 Map of Camp Far West

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Beale Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in the California foothills during the post-war era. To the south, the waters of the Bear River feed into the Camp Far West Reservoir, a central feature of the region's water management system. The map documents several layers of local history, from the Camp Far West (Historic Site) and the Spenceville (Site) to the Dairy Farm Mine (Inactive), reflecting the evolution from mid-19th-century frontier outposts to industrial mining and modern infrastructure. Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by Waldo Junc and the agricultural community of Thermalands, while the presence of the Valley View School and Lofton Cem provides essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing families in Yuba and Placer counties.
