2018 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 such as Pulga and Cresta cling to the steep canyon walls, connected by a complex system of mountain transit including the Poe Tunnel and Tunnel Number Thirteen. The map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the riverbed up to prominent landmarks like Hungary Hunt Peak and Flea Mtn. Large portions of the territory fall under the management of the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest. This 2018 survey detail shows how historic mountain communities like Mayaro and points of interest such as Arch Rock and Bardees Bar remain anchored to the river's rugged course through Butte and Plumas counties.
