USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The gold-mining legacy of the northern Sierras is etched across this landscape, where the Plumas Co Sierra Co line divides a terrain defined by hydraulic and placer workings. At the center of this 1951 field-checked survey lies La Porte, surrounded by the high-elevation settlements of Gibsonville, Howland Flat, and St Louis. These camps, many established during the California Gold Rush, are connected by an intricate network of ditches and ravines, such as Sacketts Ditch, which were essential for moving water to the various diggings.
