1994 Map of Mount Ingalls

About this map

Grizzly Ridge dominates this portion of the Plumas National Forest in the mid-1990s, where high-elevation terrain meets historic mining and ranching interests. The map documents several important historical markers for researchers, including the Lovejoy (Site) near Lovejoy Creek and a lonely Grave recorded south of Nye Meadows. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, from the headwaters of Little Grizzly Creek to the narrow McDermott Ravine. Mining activity is physically etched into the terrain with several Mine labels and significant Tailings deposits near the upper reaches of the creeks. Higher elevations like Mount Ingalls and Turner Ridge watch over secluded water features such as Summit Lake and Summit Marsh, providing a detailed look at the resource-rich environment before modern changes altered the accessibility of these back-country locations.
