About this map

Bucks Lake serves as the focal point for this section of the northern Sierra Nevada, where the shoreline developments of Bucks Lodge and Haskins Valley provide access to the water's edge at Haskins Bay. The landscape is defined by the steep canyons and ridges of the Plumas National Forest, transitioning from the high peaks of Mt Ararat down to the dramatic descent of the Middle Fork Feather River in the south.

Resource extraction and recreation intersect throughout these mountains, evidenced by the Robinson Mine and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail which winds through the eastern heights. Water management is a visible priority here, with several installations including Faggs Reservoir and the Faggs Debris Pond situated near Mosquito Flat. For local historians and hikers, the map preserves the exact locations of remote landmarks like the Krause Site and the river crossing at Hartman Bar.
