About this map

Eureka Peak and Mt Elwell dominate this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Plumas National Forest, Tahoe National Forest, and Plumas State Park meet. The 1981 survey reveals a transition from the area’s industrial mining roots to its mid-century role as a recreation destination. Numerous extraction sites like the Jamison Mine (Site), Big Boulder Mine, and Empire Mine are scattered across the peaks, indicating the intense prospecting history of the Sierra and Plumas county line.
