About this map

Bucks Lake and its surrounding mountain terrain define this portion of the Plumas National Forest in the mid-1990s. The landscape is a study in the intersection of seasonal recreation and historic resource extraction, where the Haskins Valley Summer Home Tract and Haskins Resort sit alongside long-established mining operations like the Martin Mine and Ontop Mine. The map reveals a network of water management features, including Faggs Reservoir and Faggs Debris Pond, necessary for managing the runoff from the high ridges down to the Middle Fork Feather River.

Logistics in this portion of the Sierra Nevada are dominated by the Oroville Quincy Highway, providing access to isolated family-named landmarks like Paulson Place and Fages Ranch. For researchers, the presence of a small Cem near the Robinson Mine and the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail near the summit of Mount Hough illustrate the area's dual identity as both a working landscape and a wilderness destination.
