About this map

Dixie Mtn dominates the central landscape of this high-altitude region in the Plumas National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest roads and trails that traverse the watershed, including the prominent Janesville-Frenchman route and the Hooleywicker Road. Historical land use is evidenced by the Murdock Mine located near Rowland Cabin, pointing to the area's legacy of prospecting and resource extraction.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Dixie Cr winding through Dixie Valley while the Frenchman Cove area serves as a significant drainage point to the southeast. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Ross Canyon, Horton Canyon, and the multiple branches of Ramelli Creek. This 2018 survey provides an exact record of the names and locations that define this part of Plumas County, from the high peak of Dixie Mtn to the low-lying Dotta Canyon.
