1978 Map of Mc Kesick Peak

About this map

Plumas National Forest and the Diamond Mountains dominate the southern half of this 1978 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by high peaks and timber management during the late 1970s. The presence of the Meadow View Forest Service Station and the nearby Meadow View Campground highlight the area's role in forest administration and recreational access. To the north, the terrain descends into the Honey Lake Valley, where the Western Pacific railroad line follows the natural corridor of Long Valley Creek. This transition from the forested heights of McKesick Peak to the basin floor reveals a clear boundary between wilderness and infrastructure, where numerous Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits suggest ongoing maintenance of the transportation and ranching routes such as the Cannon Field Ranch Road. Local hydrology is marked by seasonal drainages like Bird Canyon and isolated water sources including Hall Cabin Spring.
