1950 Map of Chilcoot

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Beckwourth Pass serves as the focal point of this 1950s terrain study, marking the lowest passage through the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Western Pacific railroad winds through this gap, connecting the high desert of the Honey Lake Valley to the east with the upper reaches of the Middle Fork Feather River. Small rail-oriented settlements like Chilcoot and Vinton anchor the valley floor, while the surrounding landscape is dominated by the high peaks of the Plumas National Forest.
