1950 Map of Chilcoot

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Beckwourth Pass serves as a critical geographic gateway on this mid-century survey, marking the lowest point through the Sierra Nevada range for the Western Pacific railroad and regional travel. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation peaks of the Plumas National Forest, including Adams Peak and Crystal Peak, which overlook a network of high-desert valleys. Settlement is concentrated along the rail corridor, where small hubs like Vinton, Chilcoot, and Reno Junction facilitate movement toward the Nevada border.
