About this map

Plumas National Forest encompasses this section of the Sierra Nevada, where the Middle Fork Feather River carves deep through the landscape. The map details a network of ridges and drainages that shaped early movement through the region, including Hartman Bar Ridge and Mtn Spring House Ridge. The remote settlement of Cascade sits central to the sheet, while Camp Eighteen is located further south near Lumpkin Ridge Rd.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and land management appears through features like the Wolters Mine and the numerous named ravines and gulches, such as Negro Run Ravine and Deadman Gulch. The steep descent to the water is marked by Nelson Crossing, providing a specific point of reference for historical travel along the river's path. Waterways like Fall River and Cascade Cr feed the larger river system, defining the drainage patterns of this upland territory.
