About this map

Bucks Lake serves as a primary geographical anchor in this part of Plumas County, with Haskins Bay and Bucks Lodge defining the northern recreation and settlement areas. The map reveals a landscape deeply connected to early ranching and mountain utility, marked by family-named sites such as Faggs Ranch, Grubbs Cow Camp, and the Paulson Place. These points, along with Darby Meadow, indicate a history of high-country land use that predates modern forest management.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, evidenced by the Faggs Reservoir and the network of creeks like Grizzly Creek and Willow Creek that feed toward the Middle Fork Feather River. The southern reaches are characterized by steep canyons and named ravines, including Pigtail Ravine and Arkansas Ravine, which lead down toward Hartman Bar. This intricate network of forest roads, including Bucklin Road and Gravel Range Road, provides the framework for accessing the varied topography from Glazer Ridge to Mount Ararat.
