2012 Map of Chilcoot

About this map

Vinton and Chilcoot serve as the primary hubs in this high-altitude valley of Plumas County, situated along a network of ranching roads and water channels. The landscape is defined by the braided path of Little Last Chance Cr, which branches into north and east channels near the settlements. To the north, the Little Last Chance Canyon Special Interest Area and Chilcoot Campground mark the transition into more mountainous terrain, where Whiskey Canyon and Trosi Canyon cut through the upland. Local family history and land use are etched into the map through features like the Trosi Canyon Ranch, Vinton Cem, and several named roads such as Ramelli-Greig Rd and Dotta Guidici Rd. The presence of Dyson Slough and Adams Neck further highlights the unique drainage and topographical features that have shaped the agricultural and transit patterns of this Sierra Nevada region.
