About this map

Plumas National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, where the Diamond Mountains rise sharply above the southern reaches of Honey Lake Valley. The map detail reveals the high-altitude topography around McKesick Peak and Meadow View Peak, providing a clear look at the drainage patterns of Long Valley Creek and the headwaters of Last Chance Creek.

A notable hub of activity in this remote terrain is the Meadow View Forest Service Station Campground, situated near the crossing of the State Game Refuge boundary. Lower elevations are marked by resource extraction sites, including various Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits along the eastern slopes. Remote landmarks like Hall Cabin Spring and the winding Willow Creek Grade offer specific points of interest for those tracing old pack trails or early forestry access routes through the Bird Hills.
