1950 Map of Onion Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Middle Fork Feather River carves through this portion of the northern Sierra Nevada, defining a landscape shaped by mid-century resource extraction and historic mining activity. Gold and mineral pursuits are evident in the numerous inactive workings scattered across the terrain, including the Five Bear Mine, Sugar Pine Mine, and the Feather Fork Mine located near the South Fork Feather River. These sites, along with the Williams and Dorf Mine, illustrate the tail end of a mining era that once sustained small mountain communities.
