About this map

Greenwich serves as a small anchor for this 1969 topographic study, situated along the base of the steep western slopes of Fishlake National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the sharp transition between the agricultural floor of Grass Valley and the high mountain terrain. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Upper Box Creek Reservoir and Box Creek Reservoir positioned in the higher elevations to catch runoff for the valley below.

Extensive networks of Jeep Trails wind through the forest, connecting isolated points such as Indian Flat and the high peaks of Parker Mountain. For those researching land use or genealogy, several family-named landmarks and water sources are documented, including Shaffers Springs, Parker Springs, and Jackie Canyon. The map also identifies mineral exploration through several Prospect sites and a Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's reliance on both natural resources and pastoral irrigation.
