2015 Map of Pike

About this map

San Juan Ridge and the Middle Yuba River dominate this modern topographical record of the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the historic border of Sierra Co and Nevada Co follows the river's winding path. The map details a landscape deeply etched by the legacy of hydraulic mining and early mountain industry, featuring landmarks like the Footes Crossing Bridge and the site of Nelson Mill. Named ravines and flats, such as Trestle Ravine, Grizzly Gulch, and Chalk Flat, illustrate the intricate drainage system feeding into the Yuba. Small settlements and points of local interest, including Pike and Columbia Hill, are connected by a network of historic routes like Henness Pass Rd and Cruzon Grade Rd, while Tahoe National Forest lands encompass much of the surrounding timber and terrain.
