2000 Map of Mount Fillmore

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest meet in this high-elevation terrain, where historical mining and difficult geography define the landscape. The map centers on significant peaks such as Mount Fillmore and Deadwood Peak, marking a rugged divide between the Downie River and Nelson Creek watersheds. This 2000 revision, based on earlier topography and 1990s imagery, documents a legacy of gold extraction, with numerous sites such as the California Mine, Diamond Mine, and Cowell Mine dotting the ridges and ravines. Early mountain routes like the La Porte Downieville road snake through the contours, connecting small high-country points like Skyhigh and the historic Poker Flat. The concentration of named mines and remote summits like Chimney Rock and Needle Point highlights the area's importance to California's geological and prospecting history during the late 20th century.
