1979 Map of Caribou
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Gold-era mining settlements and hydroelectric infrastructure dominate this late 1970s landscape within the Plumas National Forest. The map documents the intricate river-and-rail corridor where the Western Pacific railroad tracks navigate the winding East Branch North Fork Feather River. Along the water, historic bars like Rich Bar, Indian Bar, and Pea Soup Bar stand as markers of the region's mining heritage, while the Butt Valley Reservoir Spillway Elevation 4142 and associated Aqueduct systems highlight the mid-century industrialization of the Feather River canyon.
