1948 Map of Cascade

About this map

Middle Fork Feather River and the South Fork Feather River define this deeply dissected landscape in Butte County and Plumas County during the late 1940s. The settlement at Cascade serves as a central point in an area dominated by canyon topography and ridge-top lookouts like Kennedy Butte and Lava Top Creek. This era of the Plumas National Forest is characterized by remote habitations and early resource extraction, evident in family-named landmarks such as Graves Cabin, Kennedy Cabin, and the Jackson Ranch.
