About this map

Engel Mine and the Upper Camp mark the industrial history of this high-elevation landscape in Plumas County. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Kettle Rock, Eisenheimer Peak, and Rattlesnake Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Hungry Cr and Cold Stream. Human presence is sparse, appearing mostly as named isolated points like Browns Cabin and the remote Babcock Crossing at the edge of the sheet.

A complex system of timber and access roads, including Fruit Growers Blvd, Pierce Creek Mtwy, and Hungry Creek Mtwy, weaves through the canyons. These motorways suggest a landscape managed for resource extraction and fire access, connecting landmarks like Lone Rock Valley and Lonesome Canyon across the Diamond Mountain range. Localized water sources like Kettle Rock Spring and Cool Spring provide critical points of interest in this high-country environment.
