About this map

Johnsville stands at the heart of this gold-country landscape, positioned within the protected boundaries of Plumas Eureka State Park. The map documents the enduring industrial footprint of the Plumas mining era, marking the Eureka Mill (Ruins), the Mammoth Tunnel, and the Squirrel Creek Mine. These sites, along with the Knickrem Mill (Site), reflect the heavy investment in quartz mining and timber that once drove the local economy.

Along the Middle Fork Feather River, the settlements of Sloat, Cromberg, and Mohawk follow the river corridor, supported by the Mohawk Ranger Station and nearby recreation at the Feather River Inn. Genealogists will find the Cromberg Cem and Mohawk Cem located near these historic transit points. High-altitude landmarks like Big Hill and the waters of Eureka Lake overlook a landscape defined by the transition from active extraction to public conservation and forestry.
