About this map

Challenge serves as a central hub for the surrounding gold country and timberlands in the mid-twentieth century, situated just north of the Indiana Ranch and Sharon Valley. This era is defined by the resource economy of the Plumas National Forest, where a Sawmill and numerous extraction sites like the Horseshoe Mine and the Mother Lode Mine are dispersed through the drainages of Dry Creek and Indian Creek. High-elevation observation points at Oregon Pk Lookout Tower and Pike County Pk Lookout watch over the heavily wooded terrain.
