2018 Map of Chilcoot

About this map

Sierra Valley opens up in this High Sierra landscape where the high desert meets the northern mountains. The small settlements of Vinton, Chilcoot, and the combined Chilcoot-Venton area serve as the primary hubs of activity along the southern edge of the Plumas National Forest. Water management is a defining characteristic of this terrain, visible through the complex drainage of the N Channel Little Last Chance Cr and E Channel Little Last Chance Cr as they navigate the flat valley floor. The map highlights the transition from the rugged slopes of Chilcoot Heights and Trosi Canyon to the cultivated lands and ranch roads like Harrison Ranch Rd and Dotta Guidici Rd. For local historians, the Vinton Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest near the community center.
