1950 Map of Quincy
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
American Valley serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, where the town of Quincy sits at the intersection of mountain logging and regional commerce. The landscape reveals a complex network of resource extraction and community infrastructure, from the Cedar Mill and multiple mining sites like the Hungarian Placer Mine to essential services such as the County Hospital and Gansner Airport. Settlement patterns are clearly defined by the Western Pacific Railroad which connects Quincy Junction to the broader valley. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain, marked by the Indian Cemetery and County Cemetery north of the main townsite. The surrounding Plumas National Forest and the Feather River Experimental Forest dominate the high ground, which is etched with numerous ravines and creeks like Spanish Creek and Boyle Ravine.
