2015 Map of Quincy

About this map

Quincy and East Quincy serve as the primary hubs in this portion of the Plumas National Forest, where the valley floor of American Valley meets the rising slopes of Radio Hill. The settlement pattern is defined by the proximity of Quincy Junction and several distinct flats, including Elizabethtown Flat and Newtown Flat, indicating the historical importance of the local topography for mountain habitation. Educational and civic life is anchored by the Feather River Community Coll District and Gansner Field. The map reveals a high density of burial sites for the population, with the Quincy Cemetery, East Lawn Cemetery, and Plumas County Cemetery all situated within a small radius. Water from Spanish Creek and its many tributaries, such as Gansner Creek, winds through the valley, supporting a landscape that transitions into the high ridges of Bachs Creek Ridge and the Claremont area.
