About this map

Beckwourth and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Plumas National Forest are documented in this contemporary topographic study. The landscape is defined by a series of expansive mountain basins and ridges, including the broad Red Clover Valley to the north and the hydrologic prominence of Lake Davis to the southwest. The map reveals the intricate water network feeding these valleys, from Red Clover Creek to the seasonal wetlands of Dixie Creek.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Beckworth Genesee Rd and the Crocker Cutoff, provides access to interior landmarks like Crocker Meadow and Grasshopper Flat. Topographical details highlight the elevation shifts across Crocker Mtn and Horton Ridge, while smaller drainages like Dotta Canyon and Long Canyon illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Sierra Nevada's eastern slopes. The inclusion of the Dixie Valley settlement area offers a point of reference for local history and property research in this part of Plumas County.
