2021 Map of Dixie Mountain

About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates this section of the Sierra Nevada, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the prominent peak of Dixie Mtn and the sprawling Dixie Valley. The map details a complex network of drainages including the N Fork Ramelli Cr and S Fork Ramelli Cr that feed into the larger basins. Significant topographical landmarks like Horton Ridge and the narrow Dotta Neck separate the steep canyons of Horton Canyon and Dotta Canyon. This 2021 survey also documents the modern infrastructure of the Janesville-Frenchman road as it traverses the southern terrain toward Frenchman Cove. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the region, from the headwaters of Lookout Cr and Grigsby Cr to the seasonal flow of Dixie Cr.
