About this map

Plumas National Forest land defines this landscape where the high desert of the Honey Lake Valley meets the forested elevations of the Sierra Nevada. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal drainages and springs that supported early ranching and mining activity in Plumas County. Named features like Johnson Mill Spring and Downing Cabin Spring suggest a history of small-scale settlement and industrial attempts, while the presence of the Plinco Mine Rd points to the area's mineral prospects. The topographic data reveals a complex system of canyons, including East Canyon and Stiles Canyon, which funnel water toward Last Chance Cr. These waterways and isolated flats like Ferris Flat and Jordan Flat illustrate how geography dictated the placement of early mountain roads such as the Milford-Beckworth and Upper Last Chance routes.
