1951 Map of Goodyears Bar

About this map

Goodyears Bar sits at the confluence of Goodyears Creek and the Yuba River, serving as a central hub for the mining and ranching activities that shaped this Sierra County landscape. By the mid-twentieth century, the region's gold-mining heritage was preserved through numerous recorded sites, including the Magnolia Mine, Bunker Hill Mine, and the active Brush Creek Mine. The terrain is characterized by dramatic ridges like Tahoe Ridge and prominent peaks such as Bald Mtn and Sugarloaf. Evidence of earlier settlement patterns is visible at the Old Mtn House and the remote Marvin Ranch, while the Halls Ranch Guard Station and several campgrounds like Ramshorn Camp Ground indicate the area's transition toward forest management and recreation within the Plumas National Forest.
