1980 Map of Crescent Mills

About this map

Mining and rail infrastructure define this portion of the Plumas National Forest in the late 20th century. The settlement of Crescent Mills sits at the edge of Indian Valley, serving as a central point between high mountain ridges and the deep canyons of the East Fork Feather River. The industrial history of the region is evident in the numerous legacy sites, including the Arcadia Mine, Standart Mine, and the Monitor Mine. Evidence of earlier habitation remains at Round Valley, now overshadowed by the Round Valley Reservoir.
