USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The North Fork Yuba River defines the eastern landscape of this Yuba County survey, centered on the settlement of Challenge and the expansive waters of the Bullards Bar Reservoir. Located within the Plumas National Forest, the region shows a transition from 19th-century resource extraction toward modern water management, anchored by the Bullards Bar Dam. The terrain is marked by numerous family holdings and ranch sites, including Gochette Ranch, Burris Ranch, and Williams Ranch, alongside the community of Sharon Valley.
