2015 Map of Constantia

About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the Diamond Mountains. This high-desert transition zone features prominent landmarks like Adams Peak and Crystal Peak, contrasting with the wide expanse of Long Valley to the northeast. The small settlements of Omira and Constantia sit along the valley floor, connected by Constantia Rd and the corridor followed by Highway 395. Water is a defining scarce resource here, represented by the ephemeral Dry Valley Cr and the geothermal Zamboni Hot Springs. The map also captures the path of the Old Indian Trl in the northwest, suggesting long-standing travel routes through this portion of the Great Basin edge. Local history is further grounded by family-named roads such as Homestead Ranch Rd and Hall Rd.
