1994 Map of Genesee Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Genesee Valley forms a topographic depression through the center of this mountain landscape, where the settlement of Genesee sits at the confluence of several key drainages. The Indian Creek corridor serves as the primary artery through the valley, joined by tributaries including Ward Creek and Peel Creek. This area of the Plumas National Forest shows a long history of resource extraction, evidenced by the Beardsley Mine on the slopes below Kessler Peak and various other nameless mines and a Quarry scattered across the ridges. Movement through the steep terrain is facilitated by Walker Mine Road and river crossings like Flournoy Bridge and Drum Bridge. The presence of a small Cem near the creek suggests the early residential footprint of this Sierra Nevada community. High peaks like Wheeler Peak and the distinctive Elephants Playground define the horizon above the valley floor.
