About this map

Greenville and the nearby community of North Canyon serve as the primary human anchors in this modern survey of the Sierra Nevada's northeastern transition. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from the high timber of Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest into the broad, agricultural expanse of Indian Valley. In the north, Mountain Meadows Reservoir and its associated meadows contrast with the steep, ridged terrain of Keddie Ridge and Keddie Face.

Local history and ranching legacies are visible through features like the Strong Ranch and the Indian Valley Hot Springs, while geological landmarks such as Keddie Peak and Forgay Point dominate the horizon. The network of forest roads, including Old Haun Rd and S Deerheart, provides access to numerous alpine water bodies like Deerheart Lake and Homer Lake, illustrating the intersection of resource management and recreation in Plumas County.
