2021 Map of Chilcoot

About this map

Sierra Valley dominates this high-altitude landscape where the agricultural flats of eastern Plumas County meet the rising timber of the Plumas National Forest. The map documents a distinct cluster of settlements including Vinton, Chilcoot, and the census-designated area of Chilcoot-Vinton, each serving as vital hubs for the surrounding ranchlands. The intricate hydrology of the valley is captured through the branching channels of Little Last Chance Creek, including its north and east channels, which irrigate the valley floor before the terrain transitions into the steep relief of Whiskey Canyon and Trosi Canyon to the north.
