About this map

The Middle Fork Feather Wild and Scenic River carves through this portion of the Plumas National Forest, a landscape defined by its long history of resource extraction. Multiple river bars, including Oddie Bar, Ranger Bar, and McCarthy Bar, mark the waterway's course, signaling the region's enduring connection to early mining efforts. High-altitude mining operations are scattered across the terrain, with specific sites such as the White Pine Chrome Mine, Egbert Mine, and Feather Fork Mine indicating the variety of minerals sought in the northern Sierra Nevada.
