2015 Map of Onion Valley

About this map

Onion Valley and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Plumas National Forest are defined by steep river canyons and early mining-era placenames. Along the Middle Fork Feather River, numerous river bars such as Rich Bar, Minerva Bar, and McCarthy Bar recall the region's historical gold-seeking activity. The landscape is marked by extreme relief, moving from the depths of the river canyons to the heights of Gibsonville Ridge and Fowler Peak in the southwest.
