1957 Map of Pulga

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Feather River canyon serves as the industrial and transit spine of this mid-century survey, where the Western Pacific railroad and the Pacific Highway cling to the steep walls of the North Fork. The map records a massive era of hydroelectric expansion, specifically noting Poe Dam (Under Const) and the Poe Powerhouse, alongside established facilities like the Rock Creek Powerhouse and Bucks Creek Powerhouse. These engineering feats are set against the backdrop of the Lassen and Plumas National Forests, where remote outposts like Johnson Cabin and Pine Cluster Ranch provide evidence of earlier mountain settlement. Between the river and the peaks, small communities and camps such as Pulga, Storrie, and Injun Jim Campground reveal a landscape defined by both heavy infrastructure and rugged outdoor recreation.
