About this map

Clio and the surrounding Mohawk Valley appear as a quiet intersection of mountain industry and timberland at the start of the 1980s. The Middle Fork Feather River carves through the northern landscape, accompanied by the tracks of the Western Pacific RR. This era shows a transition toward seasonal and mountain living, evidenced by the Haskell Creek Homesites and Carvin Creek Homesites near the southern boundary.

The high country of the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest is dotted with evidence of earlier resource extraction, including the Hayden Mine, Hayes Mine, and Woodchuck Mine. Topographical landmarks like Mills Pk Lookout and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail near Haskell Peak indicate the region's importance for both forest management and recreation. The map meticulously records family-named landmarks like Mohawk Valley Ranch and the meadows and saddles that defined travel through these passes.
