1948 Map of Cascade

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Middle Fork Feather River and the South Fork Feather River carve through the steep topography of the Plumas National Forest in this post-war landscape. The map captures a moment when the regional economy was tied to timber and remote outposts, featuring the industrial presence of the Feather River Railway and various named residences and camps like Camp Eighteen. Small settlements and landmarks often named for local figures dot the ridges and canyons, including Hansons Bar, Jackson Ranch, and Nelsons Crossing.
