About this map

Gibsonville and Howland Flat anchor this map of the High Sierra, where the border of the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest meets. The landscape is defined by deep ravines and high ridges that tell the story of early mining exploration and timber harvesting. Evidence of long-standing mountain communities is found at Saint Louis Cem and Pine Grove Cem, located near historical settlements like Saint Louis and Queen City.

Water management and natural drainage systems are prominent, from the Little Grass Valley Reservoir in the north to the intricate network of Slate Cr and Canyon Cr. Geologic landmarks such as Devils Post Pile and Table Rock stand above the heavily dissected terrain. This map preserves the locations of old industrial sites like Meredith Mill, situated in the southeastern reaches of the quadrangle near Morristown.
