About this map

Gold mining operations and high mountain peaks define this 1951 survey of the Sierra Nevada, where the border between Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest meets. This area is characterized by an intense concentration of historical mining activity, with numerous named claims such as the Golden Scepter Mine, Bunker Hill Mine, and the California Mine dotting the drainages of Grizzly Creek and Deadwood Creek. The settlement of Poker Flat serves as a central point in this network of steep ravines and ridges.
