About this map

Genesee Valley dominates this 1990s revision, a high-altitude drainage basin within the Plumas National Forest. The small settlement of Genesee sits at the confluence of several waterways, including Indian Creek and Ward Creek, representing a critical hub for local ranching and historic prospecting. The map records the area's industrial legacy through the Walker Mine in the south and the Beardsley Mine to the north, alongside various Mines and a Quarry. Transportation through this complex terrain relies on landmarks like Flournoy Bridge and Drum Bridge, which cross Indian Creek and Red Clover Creek. The land rises sharply to distinctive summits such as Kessler Peak and Wheeler Peak, while the unusual Elephants Playground plateau suggests a unique geological character in the northeastern quadrant.
