About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves a deep, serpentine path through this section of the Plumas National Forest, where the terrain is marked by the historical legacy of river-based commerce. Named gravel bars such as Rich Bar, McCarthy Bar, Minerva Bar, and Oddie Bar line the river banks, signifying early mining and settlement locations along the waterway. Higher elevations are traversed by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which winds past landmarks like Chimney Rock and Fowler Peak. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the high plateaus of Gibsonville Ridge and Little Grass Valley. The infrastructure is defined by the winding Quincy La Porte Road, which connects the high ridges to the valleys below, passing the Onion Valley Reservoir and following the contours of The Hogback and Quartz Point.
