1972 Map of Grizzly Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Plumas National Forest envelopes the high-altitude landscape of this 1972 survey, centered on the expanse of Lake Davis. The map details a transition in the land's utility, showing former human occupation at the Midway House (Site) and Gate Place (Site) alongside the modern recreational infrastructure of a Boat Ramp and Lightning Tree Point. To the south, the State Game Refuge 1-V occupies the slopes of Grizzly Ridge, while the northern portion of the sheet is dominated by Red Clover Valley and its network of creek-fed meadows. This era shows a focus on resource management and preservation, with family-named features like Don Blough Creek and small-scale operations such as a Prospect providing evidence of earlier localized activity in the Sierra Nevada range.
