1950 Map of Cascade

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves through this high-country landscape on the border of Butte and Plumas counties. Post-war industrial activity is evident in the presence of a Logging RR following the curves of Pumpkin Creek and Fall River in the south, while the Walters Mine sits on the eastern slopes of Hartman Ridge. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by remote homesteads and operational sites such as Graves Cabin, Kennedy Cabin, and the Mountain Spring House. Local transport and recreation are marked by the Hansans Bar Trail leading toward the river and the Fall River Campground. Small, named settlements like Cascade and the Jackson Ranch provide a look at the mid-century footprint of these mountain communities before modern development shifted the character of the Plumas National Forest.
