2012 Map of Goodyears Bar

About this map

Goodyears Bar and the steep river canyons of the northern Gold Country are meticulously documented in this 2012 study of Sierra County. The area’s long mining legacy remains visible through the names of various lode and placer works, including the Bunker Hill Mine near Cherokee Creek and the Magnolia Mine beneath the shadow of Sugarloaf. The rugged topography is defined by the North Yuba River, which flows past landmarks like Saint Joe Bar and several riverside recreation spots such as the Fiddle Creek Camp Ground. Higher elevations are marked by historical family sites and remote outposts, from Marvin Ranch in the north to the Old Mountain House in the southeast. This map provides a clear view of the complex logging and forest road network, including Eureka Mine Road and Brandy City Road, which connect these historically isolated ridge-top settlements and mineral claims.
