2015 Map of Pulga

About this map

The North Fork Feather River carves a deep path through this portion of the northern Sierra Nevada, serving as the primary corridor for both transportation and hydroelectric infrastructure. Tiny settlements and sidings like Pulga, Cresta, and Mayaro follow the river's bend, many tied to the heavy engineering required to traverse this landscape. A series of massive railroad and utility tunnels, including Cresta Tunnel, Poe Tunnel, and Tunnel Number Thirteen, reflect the historical effort to bridge the Feather River Canyon. High above the riverbed, the terrain rises toward peaks such as Hungary Hunt Peak and Big Bar Mtn, while the high country of Flea Valley and Campbell Meadow transitions into the protected lands of Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest. Local landmarks like Batchelor Point and Arch Rock provide orientation for those navigating the rugged county line between Butte and Plumas.
