1948 Map of Camptonville
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Middle Yuba River and its steep northern tributaries define this late-1940s landscape within the Tahoe National Forest. The settlement of Camptonville serves as the central hub, surrounded by a dense network of mountain homesteads and resource-based landmarks. Family-named sites like Pendola Ranch and Rothe Ranch are scattered across the high ridges, while the Bullards Bar Reservoir sits on the western edge of the quadrangle. High-altitude operations are evident at the Oak Valley Guard Sta and the Alaska Hill Lookout, indicating the region's managed forestry and fire-watch history. Along the riverbed, the presence of Strawberry Bar and the Joubert Diggings points to the area's legacy of hydraulic and placer mining, where gold seekers once worked the gravels of the Yuba drainage.
