2015 Map of Haypress Valley

About this map

Bassetts serves as a small gateway to the high elevations of the Tahoe National Forest, where the headwaters of the N Yuba River and Middle Yuba River carve through the Sierra Nevada landscape. The area is defined by its deep canyons and high meadows, including Thompson Meadows and the alpine expanse of Lincoln Valley. Significant water management and transportation infrastructure are visible, notably the Milton-Bowman Tunnel which underscores the region's history of hydraulic engineering. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the center of this map, crossing the Great Eastern Ravine and passing near the quiet settlement of Haypress Valley. For those researching regional history, the map provides precise locations for early mountain routes such as Henness Pass Rd and Salmon Creek Rd.
