1979 Map of Caribou

About this map

Rich Bar and Belden anchor this detailed study of the Feather River canyon during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the heavy engineering of the Western Pacific railroad and complex hydroelectric infrastructure, including the Belden Forebay, multiple Gaging Stations, and an extensive system of tunnels such as Tunnel 24 and Tunnel 25. The industrial presence of the Red Rock Mine contrasts with the recreational development of the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest.
