2022 Map of Meadow Valley

About this map

Spanish Ranch and the small settlement of Meadow Valley anchor this mountainous landscape within the Plumas National Forest. The local topography is defined by sharp transitions from high points like Bucks Summit to deep drainages like Spanish Creek and Slate Creek. Local history is preserved at the Meadow Valley Cemetery and across various timber-and-mining era flats, including Grub Flat, Greens Flat, and Tamarack Flat. The western edge of the sheet is traversed by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, winding through a network of creeks such as Bucks Creek and Clear Creek. The area’s varied relief is further evidenced by landmarks like the Mulligan Slide and Burton Ridge, reflecting the complex geography of the Plumas County mountains in the early twenty-first century.
