1994 Map of Chilcoot

About this map

Sierra Valley agriculture and the high-elevation terrain of the Plumas National Forest meet in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the complex water systems necessary for ranching and forest management, including Dyson Slough, the North Channel Little Last Chance Creek, and numerous Flowing Wells scattered across the valley floor. Settlement is concentrated along the National Scenic Byway at Vinton and Chilcoot, where local history is anchored by the Vinton Cem and the Summit Sch. This map illustrates the transition from the open valley to the steep elevations of Little Last Chance Canyon and Adams Neck, documenting a landscape where forest boundaries and private holdings like Troisi Canyon Ranch create a distinct patchwork of land use.
