About this map

Camptonville serves as the central hub of this Gold Country landscape, situated at the intersection of Marysville Rd and Camptonville Rd. The map illustrates a region defined by steep ridges and deep canyons within the Tahoe National Forest, where the Middle Yuba River carves the southern boundary across Yuba and Nevada counties. Small communities and historical sites like Oak Valley, Youngs Hill, and Weeds Point are scattered throughout the highlands, connected by a network of winding roads such as Old Toll Rd and Henness Pass Rd.

Evidence of historical and modern industry is visible in the presence of the Nelson Mill and infrastructure like the Camptonville Tunnel and Lohman Ridge Tunnel. To the west, the expansive New Bullards Bar Reservoir fills the valley of the North Fork Yuba River, dramatically altering the local geography. From Celestial Valley to the heights of Alaska Peak, the map documents a terrain where legacy mining names like Grizzly Gulch and Horse Valley persist alongside modern forestry and water management.
