1994 Map of Crescent Mills
USGS Topo · Published 1997About this map
Crescent Mills serves as a focal point in this mountainous region of Plumas County, situated at the edge of the Indian Valley. The landscape is defined by the convergence of steep canyons and high ridges, notably Mount Hough and Hough Ridge, which overlook the winding course of the Feather River and Spanish Creek. Industrial and transit history is etched into the terrain through the Union Pacific railroad lines and several legacy mining operations, including the Arcadia Mine and the Cherokee Mine site near Round Valley Reservoir. Significant conservation and land management areas dominate the southern and central sections, specifically the Mount Hough State Game Refuge and the Butterfly Valley Botanical Area. To the north, the historic Emigrant Road traces the base of the mountains, while small settlements like Keddie and Paxton mark important rail junctions and river crossings.
