1948 Map of Camptonville

About this map

The Middle Yuba River and its high-elevation tributaries carve through the heart of the Tahoe National Forest, defining a landscape where historic mining and ranching outposts are scattered across the ridges. Centered on the town of Camptonville, this area reflects the late 1940s rural character of the Sierra foothills, with 1969 photorevisions highlighting changes in the terrain. High points like Alaska Hill Lookout and Youngs Hill overlook a network of named gulches and ridges that speak to the region's resource-driven history.
