1949 Map of Camp Far West

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Beale Air Force Base dominates the northern and central portions of this landscape, reflecting the military's significant footprint in the foothills during the mid-20th century. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Bear River and the expanding waters of the Camp Far West Reservoir, which straddle the border of Yuba and Placer counties. Historical layers are visible throughout, notably at the Camp Far West (Historic Site) and the Spenceville (Site), marking earlier eras of settlement and frontier activity. To the south, the agricultural character of the Thermalands region is evident, supported by a network of ditches and ravines like Fenton Ravine. Traces of the area's industrial past are preserved in the Dairy Farm Mine (Inactive), while local genealogy is represented at the Lofton Cem and the Valley View School near the Rancho Johnson boundary.
