1948 Map of Nevada City
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Nevada City sits at the heart of this post-war landscape, where the legacies of the California gold rush meet mid-century forest management and water reclamation efforts. The northern reaches are dominated by the Plumas National Forest and Tahoe National Forest, while the river valleys show a complex network of mining history and ranching. Significant water features like the Bullards Bar Reservoir on the North Fork Yuba River and Lake Francis illustrate the era's infrastructure, supporting local settlements such as North San Juan and Camptonville.
