1994 Map of Dixie Mountain

About this map

Dixie Mountain and the high ridges of the Plumas National Forest dominate this 1990s landscape, illustrating a wilderness area managed for multiple uses including wildlife protection and recreation. The map highlights the State Game Refuge that spans the northern slopes, while the presence of the Dixie Mountain Lookout and the Lookout Trail indicate the historical importance of fire surveillance in these timberlands. Down in the southeastern corner, the terrain transitions toward the water at Frenchman Cove and Frenchman Lake, where Frenchman Creek enters the reservoir. A network of canyons including Ross Canyon, Horton Canyon, and Dotta Canyon carve through the high elevations of Horton Ridge, showing the complex drainage systems that feed into Dixie Valley and the surrounding basins.
